He knows the legal system of protection and water management in Poland, as well as tools and status of implementation of the Water Framework Directive. Skills: He can determine the pollutant loads carried by the river, and also evaluated the ability of self-purification of water. Able to characterize the states and flows of selected profiles of the river. He can determine the ecological status, ecological potential and chemical status of surface water body. He get skills bioindicative contamination of surface water and is able to carry out hydromorphological valorization of the watercourse.

Competences: Social competence: It shows understanding of the importance of access to high quality water for the development of civilization; It is aware of the responsibility for the rational use of water resources.

Prerequisites: Hydrology, hydrobiology, mathematics and statistics, chemistry, meteorology and climatology, environmental protection law.

Course content: Classes include issues related to the typology of surface water, assessment of water resources and water quality. Also apply to anthropogenic hazards to the aquatic environment and to reduce the negative effects of human impact on the aquatic environment. They represent the system of legal protection and water management in Poland, as well as the implementation of the Water Framework Directive. Also include the monitoring of surface waters, including hydromorphological assessment of surface water.
