Course content
The purpose of the discipline is to provide and acquire theoretical and practical knowledge by students about the hydrography of water bodies, the main factors of the formation of water bodies on land, about river, lake, swamp, glacier systems and the regularities of the structure of their hydrographic network, methods of description and quantitative assessment of the main characteristics hydrography of water bodies, as well as a detailed examination and study of the physical and geographical conditions and territorial features of the hydrography of water bodies of Ukraine, the formation and structure of the river hydrographic network, the largest river systems of Ukraine, acquiring practical skills for calculating the hydrographic characteristics of natural and transformed water bodies objects and environmental assessment of the hydrographic network of Ukraine.
