- Course objectives
- After the course students are able to understant the principles of sediment sampling, sampling of water and aquatic biota. We recognise a discuss the fecal and trophic pollution and bioindication of this pollution. The course is realised as field excursion and all activity is realised with modern devices for sampling and measuring the water quality
- Syllabus
- 1. Practical (terrain) excursion to lotic and lentic ecosytems with various level of antropogenic effects.2. Characterization of surrounding and aquatic environment, mapping, protocols, estimation of human effects. 3. Sampling (water, sediments), transport and storage, suggestion of testing scheme (onespecies tests, multispecies tests, mesocosms). 4. Porotocols for locality caracterization, sampling and testing. 5. Model project: new chemical compound introduced into the environment. 6. Measurement of oxygen, pH, transparency temperature and other parameters in water directly in the field.

- Teaching methods
- The course is realised as practical field excertise, which is focused on the bioindication by benthic organisms and the ability of sampling water, sediments and aquatic biota.
- Assessment methods
- prove the ability to sample sediments, plankton and water prove the ability recognise the kind of polutionand the wax of indication Ability to measure parameters of water quality in the field Credit
