Abstract(semestr B232)
By undertaking this course, students will be able to understand the fundamental principles with respect to design and control of reservoirs and water resources systems. The course includes methods and analysis for hydrological data preparation, stochastic time series generation and basic simulation and optimization techniques. Students will be able to design the storage capacity of reservoirs to serve water supply and environmental services downstream and to design appropriate flood control capacity to protect downstream area against floods. Environmental, geophysical and water quality aspects of reservoirs will be also discussed.
Content 
The course focuses on fundamental principles with respect to design and control of reservoirs and water resources systems

1. Reservoir types; purposes and functions; water management schemes and floods
2. Hydrological data for design (types of data; inflow time series analysis; analysis of the autocorrelation characteristics)
3. Hydrological data for design cont. (methods for simulation, optimization and prognosis)
4. Modelling methods for time series (simulation, optimization, prognostic and other)
5. Reservoirs for water supply and irrigation (demands; water quality; systems of reservoirs)
6. Reservoirs for water supply cont. (supply reliability analysis; seasonal and multiannual management)
7. Management of reservoirs for hydropower purpose
8. Reservoir for flood control purpose (analysis for required period of operation; additional measures; safety during floods)
9. Water management analysis of sophisticated schemes and systems of reservoirs
10. Environmental aspects and geophysical impacts of reservoirs, temperature regime in reservoirs
11. Dry flood control reservoirs and polders
12. Technical aspects of small water reservoirs
13. Fishponds, fish farming and the role of small water reservoirs in the landscape
