Summary
The position and tasks of hydrogeology and engineering geology in the creation and protection of the environment. Assessment and evaluation of risks arising from the rock environment and anthropogenic activity. Students will learn the basic principles of rock environment assessment for various engineering tasks using modern software for creating conceptual models of the rock environment and subsequent analyses.

General and specific classification of rocks and rock massifs. 3rd Geodynamic processes and risks arising from them. 4. Methods and methodology of the 5th Engineering-geological survey maps, thematic maps files sixth IG data for the evaluation of foundation conditions for land, underground construction, landfill remediation and reclamation work. 7th hydrosphere and water in rocks (general patterns of accumulation and fluid flow in rocks, hydrological balance equation). 8. Properties and characteristics zvodněných systems (kolektorské properties and their detection, classification systems, hydraulic and HG ratios in the system). 9. The quality of surface and shallow groundwater. Basics hydrogeochemického evaluation of natural waters, water aggressiveness on construction. 10. The procedures groundwater (classification and characteristics of the main types, HG measurements and observations, forms processing). 11. HG exploration and drainage in mining and underground construction (HG systems and design work, types, stages and objectives of the survey, drainage construction pits, mines and quarries). 12.Průzkum and remediation of groundwater pollution (pollution monitoring, sanitary protection zone, conflicts of interest - legislation and standards). 13.Hydrogeologický survey for the construction of surface and underground landfill waste (liquid and solid industrial wastes, municipal wastes, legislation in terms of hydrogeological). 14th Hydrological Service of the Czech Republic - an observation network monitored hydrological data Hydrometeorological Institute.
