Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students obtain a view about the water management,a piece of knowledge about a usage of a water circuit with base of hydrology, hydraulic bases of hydrotechnical calculations, make the one's acquaintance with basis water structures and theirs designing.

Prerequisites

basic knowledge of physics

Co-requisites

Structures and traffic buildings

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of VUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. Verbal lectures, excursions to the laboratories with special interpretation, basic hydraulic calculations on practice

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Students pass in terms of practice 6 excursions to the laboratories of water management institutes, work up 6 basic hydraulic calculations and lastly draw up a test from all of range read maters
