| Learning outcomes: | Knowledge Student has basic knowledge in the field of geology and specialized in the field of hydrogeology; knows: geological processes; hydrogeological parameters of the soil types; the basic laws of groundwater motion; knows the methods of determining groundwater resources. IŚ1A_W10 Skills Is able to identify phenomena that affect the environment (among others: determine: the reach of drainage facilities, assess the risks of groundwater). IŚ1A_U03 is able to prepare the development of the dynamic extent of groundwater - calculate: the intensity of the flow of water into drainage ditches, wells and group of wells; calculate groundwater resources; be able to: determine the hydrogeological parameters of the soil types; use of thematic maps; make a hydrogeological cross-section and hydrogeological maps. IŚ1A_U09 Social competences Is aware of the responsibility for own work and a willingness to comply with the principles of teamwork and responsibility for jointly implemented tasks IŚ1A_K02 |
