Acquisition of comprehensive knowledge on technological processes of drinking water treatment of surface and ground water sources. Students will gain insight into the water treatment technology, which will enable them to take positions of either technologists in water treatment plants or junior scientists in water research field. Enough effort is devoted to presentation of emerging technologies and trends in water treatment. This is based on both, foreign literture and personal experience of the teacher. Examples of practical solutions of some real problems of water treatment plants in Czech Republic and Slovakia will enhance the scope of the presentations.

Knowledge from courses Hydrochemistry, Analytical chemistry, Chemical engineering, Physical chemistry

Not applicable.

Lectures are based on extensive use of well documented presentations, which support the theory with additional research and practical information. Because of technological nature of this subject, all themes recall the previously gained theoretical knowledge, especially in aquatic chemistry, hydrobiology and limnology, physical chemistry. As lectures on drinking water concern every human being, the relation with other environmental factors and social relations is also in focus to enable students find mutual influences between different disciplines.
