Purpose and description of the content of education:
The main goal is to gain knowledge about extreme hydrological phenomena. The student learns the definitions of such phenomena as: drought, flooding and the resulting environmental hazards and social impacts. He learns research methods to identify extreme ones hydrological phenomena. He becomes acquainted with the available data, geoportals that present these phenomena in Poland and Europe. Based on data is able to work out the scope and scale of a given phenomenon.
