Subject syllabus:

1. Limnology , development of Hydrobiology , geological and biotypologické distribution of water , the water cycle in nature. 2. Groundwater - types of permeability rocks, groundwater circulation , distribution of groundwater chemical and physical properties of groundwater , groundwater biota . 3. The process of groundwater pollution - groundwater response of organisms to various types of pollution, groundwater remediation methods . 4. Standing water - the basic physical and chemical properties (density , viscosity, hydrostatic pressure , solar radiation , transparency, thermal regime , surface tension , electrical conductivity , redox potential , pH, water color ) . 5. Biogeochemical Cycles in water - cycle of oxygen , carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, iron and manganese , silicon. 6. Structure of stagnant water biota ( plankton , benthos , nekton , pleuston ) . 7. Running water - the basic physical and chemical properties. The structure of biota ( plankton , drift, phytobenthos , zoobenthos , nekton ) communities changes in the longitudinal profile of the flow under natural conditions . 8. The biological productivity of water and food chains in aquatic ecosystems . 9. Self-cleaning water flows - physical and chemical processes of self-purification , the impact of pollution on the occurrence of aquatic organisms, successional stage self-cleaning , dealing with emergency situations in the flow. 10. The process of surface water pollution - sources and types of pollutants (mineral and putrid sludge, toxic substances , radioactive substances , the heated waste water , waste water and oily substances and petroleum products , waste water with pathogenic organisms , contaminated water from landfills ) . 11. Acidification of aquatic ecosystems - sources of acidity , the effect of acidification on aquatic organisms . 12. Eutrophication of stagnant water - definition , causes eutrophication , the development of cyanobacteria and their toxicity , biological and technical measures to reduce eutrophication 13. Wastewater Treatment - Biological wastewater treatment. Technology for sewage treatment. 14. Sampling of waste water. 15. The use of organisms as biosorbents for wastewater treatment .
