- Course objectives
- The subject is directed so that students would acquire knowledge about measurement and observation of hydrological phenomena, and methods of processing measured data. Main principles of water circulation with accent on anthropogenic influence is explained in detail.
- Syllabus
- Introduction. Importance of water in the landscape. Hydrology as a branch of science, historical outline, organization of hydrological service. Water reserves and circulation on the Earth - fundamental balance relations. Hydrography of rivers - measuring units of runoff, hydrographical characteristics of catchment area, river network and river beds. Hydrology of rivers - regime of rivers and its anthropogenic effect, hydrological forecasts. Subsurface water - its origin, kinds and filling up; regime of finding and observing ground waters; sources. Limnology and hydrobiology of swamps - morphometric characteristic of lakes and reservoirs, water balance of lakes, temperature conditions. Physical and chemical properties of surface and subsurface waters - organic and inorganic contamination of waters. Oceanography - properties of sea water, problems of its pollution; movements of sea water, sea currents.
