Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The course aims to familiarize students with the most advanced IT applications in the field of hydrology and environmental issues in connection with the water component in the landscape. Major emphasis is placed on a special software that provides the analytical and simulation capabilities - namely GIS, remote sensing and environmental mathematical models. And as commercial tools, the freeware tools and the open source software. An essential chapter is a discussion of theoretical and practical aspects in particular the collection and analysis of input data, uncertainty analysis of input data and preparing data files for specific modeling tools with database and GIS tools. Finally, specific applications are discussed tools hydroinformatics level of engineering applications, emergency management and hydro-meteorological forecasting, environmental sector and the sector of agriculture, particularly aquaculture and forestry. Output knowledge, skills and competence: After completing the course the student should demonstrate knowledge of concepts of environmental modeling and hydroinformatics should be able to analyze a particular problem to solve, choose the appropriate procedures and methods to define the requirements for input data, and finally choose an adequate instrument for the actual solution. This helps to understand the basic principles of environmental modeling and hydroinformatics . And at both theoretical and practical level in particular, which consists mainly of selecting appropriate tools, methods, data collection and the actual application of software to solve the problem.
