Objectives and competences
Students will be able to plan and design regulation measures on surface waters.
They will be able to appraise flood safety of a stream and plan the flood protection measures.
Content (Syllabus outline)
Lectures:
Surface water classification
Hydrology and hydraulic properties of natural watersources
Basics of surface water regulation: river mechanics (bed-load discharge, turbidity), river hydraulics, torrent hydraulics, river morphology, erosion, sedimentation
Classical surface water regulation: watercourse layout design, flood protection, riverbed channeling, dimensioning and maintaining of water structures
Nature-based and sustainable surface water regulation: river corridor, hydromorfological condition of watercourses, planning and maintaining of sustainable regulations
Regulation structures: distribution, elements, materials
Building of regulation structures; basic principles
Regulation methods: landslide protection, technical and ecological basics of natural watercourse regulation, live materials usage
Flood protection
Tutorial:
Examples of river hydraulics and mechanics (open channel flow, flow areas, composed flow areas, planning of stable areas, sediment motion)
Hydraulic calculation and regulation of watercourse section with HEC-RAS software
Learning and teaching methods
Classical lectures with several Power Point presentations and combined with the use of commercial computer tools in this field of interest (HEC-RAS).
Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding

? explain the erosion and sedimentation processes in rivers
? plan the regulation measures for stabilization of river bank
? plan the sustainable regulation measures on streams
? asses the flood safety of a river section
? plan the flood protection measures
