Learning outcomes: Knowledge Student knows methodology of describing the movement of water and pollutant in the environment. Student understands the need of numerical solution the mathematical issues and is aware of their approximate nature. Student knows engineering tools which help to modelling the movement of water and pollutant. Skills Student can evaluate the adequacy of a specific model of the movement for a typical engineering situations. Student can formulate boundary conditions for the analysis of typical cases of water and pollution flow. Student can prepare the computational grid. Student can perform on the grid simulated calculations and can interpret the results of the calculations.

Competences: Student understands the need of modeling the water resources and knows the limits of applicability of mathematical models.
