| Course abstract | |
| Study course looks at: hydrotechnical structures modeling methods, their suitability for solving complex problems, including waterfront reinforcement in ports, construction of power plant dams and dams, protection of settlements against floods. Types and classification of mathematical models, water management sectors, hydrotechnics, basics of water legislation, run-off, water balance, run-off regulation, water drainage pipelines, water reservoirs, their parameters. Classification of water bodies, their types and cross-sectional elements, basic principles of water drainage and their calculation, water filtration under drains | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| After finishing master study course, Master students will know: hydrotechnical structures modeling methods, their suitability for solving complicated problems, including embankment reinforcement in ports, construction of power plant dams and dams, protection of settlements against floods. Types and classification of mathematical models, water management sectors, hydrotechnics, basics of water legislation, run-off, water balance, run-off regulation, water drainage pipelines, water reservoirs, their parameters. Classification of water bodies, their types and cross-sectional elements, basic principles of water drainage and their calculation, water filtration under drains. By acquiring the study course, the Master students will acquire skills and will be able to solve the interaction and evaluation of the elements of different hydrotechnical structures. Will be able to evaluate the aspects of legislation and to choose appropriate improvement technologies as well as to develop the implementation of hydroelectric projects; Masters will be competent in designing, constructing and operating hydrotechnical structures when studying the course. | |
