| Learning outcomes |
|
The aim of the subject is to introduce the basic informations about landscape development and human activities which lead to its adjusting to the natural conditions.
Upon completion of the course the students will be able to prepare a study of revitalization of landscapes and watercourse, including all necessary hydrotechnical calculations. Students can evaluate the landscape revitalization projects. |
