Course content
|
The subject focuses on the water regime of the landscape in the entire range of influencing conditions. The main focus is on the following topics and their interrelationships: 1. Water regime of the landscape under significant rainfall-runoff events and drought 2. The influence of water retention and storage in the sub-catchment on surface and subsurface runoff 3. Impact of nature-based and small-scale biotechnical measures on runoff water quality

Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to develop a comprehensive approach and gain new knowledge about the movement and outflow of water from the landscape, with regard to water retention and accumulation in the landscape associated with surface agricultural pollution of surface and groundwater. The dissertation works will study the processes of water movement in important periods of the year (floods, droughts) and with different uses and land cover in small sub-basins.
The student is able to work both under direction and in a collaborative team. He/she can formulate and present his/her own opinions, communicate information and ideas clearly, and specify problems and possible solutions. The student is able to approach his/her work creatively and with initiative. In forming a judgement, he/she uses the knowledge he/she has acquired at the faculty, through self-study and consultations with experts, and takes responsibility for evaluating and improving work activities. The student has the ability to manage a team within certain rules. The student is able to continue independent education, expand his/her knowledge, continuously monitor sources of professional information and is able to ask questions in professional consultations directed to the professional topic addressed in the preparation of the presentation. They can gather information to evaluate situations in an unfamiliar and changing environment. Can critically evaluate own knowledge and determine own information needs, and is able to direct others in seeking educational needs.

Prerequisites
|
Students have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of water management. They know the issues related to sustainable development of cities and towns from a water management perspective. They are also aware that the whole system of water structures and water management is a system that is very complex and determinant for the further development of the whole civilisation. They have knowledge of the Water Act and the water protection system.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Student performance assessment, Seminar work
Teaching is done as an independent study directed in consultation with the teacher. An individual and active approach to study is applied, taking into account the knowledge, experience and practice of the PhD student in the field of hydrology, water retention and accumulation in the basin in relation to the focus of his/her dissertation. The study of the course will include the preparation of a seminar paper designed to deepen the knowledge in the subject of his/her research work.
