Purpose and description of the content of education:
The following topics will be discussed during the field exercises: methodological basics of water phenomena mapping, usefulness of aerial and satellite photos and GIS tools for water phenomena research, research of physical and chemical characteristics of water, study of watercourses, study of lakes and reservoirs, study of natural groundwater outflows. the impact of human activity on water phenomena and hydrographic objects, field methods of determining areas at risk of flooding, field aspects of drought risk analysis, cartographic presentation of field research results. The student learns about the structure, principles of operation of hydrological instruments and acquires the skills to operate them.
