Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with problems of flow adjustments and legislation associated with watercourses. Students learn the rights and responsibilities of administrators of water flows, protection of watercourses and flood protection. They acquire knowledge of the basic terminology of the Water Law, become familiar with information portals dealing with the registration of watercourses. The course introduce them to the proposals for regulation of water flow, which prevents the creation of knowledge about the channel and sediment regime. The subject also includes assessing the stability of the riverbed, design fortifications, buildings and structures on watercourses.
The student is able to analyze the selected flow. Learning about the basic terminology of the Water Act, acquainting with information portals dealing with water flow records.
