Hydrology and hydraulics 1300-OHH2C
The classes are concentrated on:
computing and graphical visualization in the form of graphs and maps of different methods of precipitation, assessment of the infiltration in the catchment area, calculations of characteristic flows in the river, hydrograph analysis and determination of the environmental flow value and groundwater outflow, recognition of the flow regime according to the Reynolds criteriion, laboratory determination of the Reynolds number, solving problems of hydromechanics, convert the measurement units.

Learning outcomes
After completing the course (exercices) a student:
- recognizes elements of the water circulation system,
- can assess the average precipitation in the catchment area based on the Thiessen method and the isohiet method,
- is able to apply the marker method and the method of groundwater table fluctuation to assess infiltration rate,
- knows the methodology for measuring the water flow rate in the river using a hydrometric methods,
- assesses the amount of groundwater outflow based on the analysis of the hydrograph,
- calculates the amount of the environmental flow value in the river,
- recognizes laminar and turbulent flow based on the Reynolds criterion,
- determines the Reynolds number value in the laboratory.
Assessment criteria
Requirements for Passing:
A positive grade on all graphic and computational assignments submitted within the designated two-week deadline.
A minimum of 10 assignments and a laboratory report must be completed during the semester.
Assignments receiving fewer than 2.5 points must be corrected and resubmitted within the specified two-week deadline.
A maximum of 2 absences from classes is allowed.
Assessment Criteria:
Correct completion of computational and graphic assignments, graded on a point scale (0–5 points per assignment; a passing score for each assignment is more than 2.5 points).
The course is passed for a grade based on achieving more than 50% of the total possible points from all assignments.
Grading scale:
Above 50%–60%: grade 3
Above 60%–70%: grade 3.5
Above 70%–80%: grade 4
Above 80%–90%: grade 4.5
Above 90%: grade 5
A written resit exam will be required if the necessary number of points is not obtained during the first attempt.
