Learning outcomes: Knowledge The student knows the basic principles and effects creating water management systems; has the basic knowledge of water management; knows the basic conditions for effective water management in a situation of extreme hydrological conditions; understands the desirability of creating hydro-economic systems. Skills Student can define rules for creating hydro-economic and water-drainage systems; knows how to choose the right system for improving water management of soils in areas with reduced retention; can realise basic water management plans; knows how to properly evaluate the risks from periodic occurring extreme meteorological and hydrological conditions; can propose suitable management of the equipment hydrotechnical and drainage devices.
Competences: The student is aware of the responsibility for the saving and rational management of water resources; understand the non-economic importance of water to the society.
Prerequisites: drainage, irrigation, physics and chemistry of soil
Course content: The rational water management for the creation of optimal conditions to regulate humidity on agricultural, forest, ecological and others areas and the requirements of creating organizational units of managing water in hydro-economic systems including large areas of the hydrological catchments. The system as a connection many elements included in more or less independent units, systems and subsystems that operate in time and space leads to common results. Examples of hydro-economic systems. Protection against the effects of extreme meteorological and hydrological phenomena. Resource efficient water management systems in the environment. The role of hydrotechnical and irrigation devices to improve water quality.
