Purpose and description of the content of education:
The learning outcomes in the field of hydrology realized during lectures and laboratory classes are identified with the knowledge allowing for the correct analysis of cause-and-effect relationships in hydrology and hydrogeology. Of particular importance in education in the field of hydrology is recognizing and correctly explaining the mutual relationships and connections of surface and subsurface waters with groundwater and other components of the environment. Both lectures and laboratory classes are aimed at acquiring knowledge, skills and social competences identified with the knowledge of the hydrological and hydrogeological research methodology.
