Purpose and description of the content of education:
As part of the module, the student learns about the most important hydrological threats, as well as their impact on life and selected areas of human activity. He learns the basic research methods and tools to describe the causes and effects of hydrological hazards. Using various sources of information about the environment, he acquires the ability to recognize hydrological threats in spatial and temporal terms. He learns the basic ways of applying environmental engineering to prevent hydrological hazards.
