Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The student who completes the course should be able:
- to characterise, discuss and process information about construction and operation of hydrotechnical works of various types and functions and to use the knowledge in practice,
- prepare his/her own concept of a small water reservoir,
- to defend his/her own proposal of a small water reservoir.

Summary
This subject deal with basic terms, documents for design / planning,
functional
and structural layout of water management buildings (reservoirs – dams,
diversion buildings – weirs, step weirs, water ways, water energy
exploitation).

Additional study materials
Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester
Ongoing knowledge of students in the exercises during the semester are verified continuously, within the processing of individual drawings of the semester project of a small reservoir. Students will apply their knowledge in processing drawings:
- situation,
- the longitudinal profile of the dam,
- the longitudinal profile of the tank,
- a sample cross-section of the dam,
- section and floor plan of the tank discharge object.
