Summary

The basics of hydrology are studied. Hydrological balance, hydrological variables measurement methods, statistical and graphical processing. Furthermore, the study concentrates on soil forming factors, physical characteristics and soil chemistry, agrochemical properties, soil water, hydrostatics and hydrodynamics of soil water, soil taxonomy system. Finally, attention is paid to the groundwater flow and soil water regime.
