| Course abstract | |
| In this course tasks, functions and methods of land drainage to remove excess soil water providing necessary conditions for intensive farming has been presented. Course provides advanced knowledge on the drainage planning, parameters and their calculation methods, design of drainage structures, construction works, materials. Tasks and the necessary measures during the implementation of land reclamation works is discussed. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| 1. The course develops knowledge and understanding about the role of measures of land reclamation and their implementation in the agricultural practice considering adaptation to local conditions, farming methods and technologies.2. The course enables students with an ability to examine and to solve technical issues in relation of methods, techniques for the control of soil water regime and preparation of agricultural land use type to ensure relevant farming activities.3. The course elaborates competence to use the best practice to avoid excess water conditions in soil, the competence to perform necessary theoretical calculations and to prepare design drawings; to inspect the main components and structures in drainage system; to check functional and technical order of drainage, to find out maintenance problems and prepare proposals for necessary repairs. | |
