Course objectives
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the hydrological research methods used in Physical Geography and Geoecology.
Syllabus
  • The course gives an overview of the methods used in hydrological disciplines, partly in hydrogeography. The course focus on methods directly used in applied research. The course covers a relatively wide range of methods of individual discipllines, eg .. hydrometeorology, hydrometery, potamologie, hydrogeology and limnology. Students learn the methodology of observation, processing and evaluation of hydrological elements. Provides information on how the data (obtained from publications, atlases, archive CHMI, respectively personally measured) further processed and evaluated (statistically, respectively, in the form of graphical methods). They are given some hydrological characteristics of the individual use of the hydrological elements. Students also learn about the specific information sources (atlases and websites) as the latest journal papers. 1 Basic hydrological data analysis, methods of mathematical statistics 2 Processing and evaluation of hydrometric measurements 3 Discharge analysis for dams 4 Parameters of the river channel and river basin in runoff process 5 Hydromorphological notebook 6 Analysis of lateral migration 7 Hydromorphological terminology 8 Water managment 9 Calculation of discharges in different channels 10th Determination of size of the underground runoff 11th Simulation of runoff in the basin using CN curves
