Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, hydraulics and hydrology

Co-requisites

Reservoirs and water management systems, operational and systems analysis, operational research, applied hydrology, operative hydrology, artificial intelligence methods

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
Students pass the 13 basic lectures in reservoirs and water management systems operative control.
In practice, students process according to entering some basic task using computers and software available.
At the end of course test draw from the full range of lectures and pass the oral exam.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Attendance to seminars, submission of reports to practice, written test, oral exam.
