| Summary |
|---|
| The course provides general information on the characteristic properties of natural waters. It acquaints with physical and chemical properties of water components. Sensory properties of water are mentioned. The following are the most important metals and non-metals occurring in waters. Attention is also paid to groups of organic substances in waters. The course also contains information about microbiological and hydrobiological properties of water. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The aim of the course is to describe physical, chemical, microbiological and hydrobiological properties of waters. Understand their interactions and interactions. The knowledge gained can be applied to technological processes of water treatment and purification. |
