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 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

Knowledge and understanding: Students will be able to: ? classify surface waters and describe their properties ? describe and compute hydrological and hydraulical properties of streams ? 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
