Water Quality

Course code: 144WAQE
Course guarantor: doc. Dr. Ing. Ivana Kabelková
Form of exams: A,EX
Number of credits: 6 credits
Weekly load: 2+3

Abstract(semestr )
The course focuses on understanding of natural processes and human impacts determining water quality of surface waters and gives background to water quality modelling in natural and technical systems. Lectures cover processes and environmental factors effecting composition of surface waters, water pollution and its categories, properties, impacts and sources, ecological functions, processes, human impacts and protective measures in running and standing surface waters, water quality measurement and monitoring and legislative approach to water quality protection. Exercises provide a systematic approach to mass balances, transport and transformation processes, ideal reactors, real reactors and natural systems hydraulics and residence time distribution, advection-dispersion-transformation.
Content 
The course consists of lectures and exercises. Invited lectures on special topics will be held as part of the lectures. During the exercises, examples will be solved, a tracer experiment will be carried out in the field, and a field trip will take place.
