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
Passing a course requirements:
- knowledge about materials given;
- realization of assigned works within the designated period of time,
- correction of unsuccessful works within the designated period of time.
Two justified absences are allowed.
Correct execution of elaborations assessed on points (scale: 0-5 points for a single study), passing a study up from 1 point). Written work from the whole material assessed on points. Subject credited after obtaining more than 50% of the sum of points from the elaborations and written work.
Correction of writing work needed in the case of failure to obtain the required sum of points in the first term.
