Summary
The course acquaints students with the problems of structural-tectonic structure for forming hydrogeological conditions in the Czech Republic, defines in detail the hydrogeological characteristics of individual areas, specifies the importance of hydrogeological regionalization and defines hydrological regions and also deals with the genesis and distribution of mineral and thermal waters in the Czech Republic.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Our intention is to provide a broad coverage of topics (see annotation of the course) in order to acquaint students with the basic principles of the subject taught and their practical applications.
