Course content
The goal of the discipline is for students to gain a systematic understanding of hydrological processes and factors, such as those that shape the ecological state of water bodies. The student should have a good idea of the place and role of hydrological factors in the functioning of ecosystems, the importance of water resources, the essence of hydrological processes occurring in rivers and reservoirs; to be able to evaluate their contribution to the formation of water quality; must possess the system of scientific knowledge and research methods in the field of hydrology, issues of application of hydrological knowledge in practice.
The educational discipline is dedicated to the study of hydrological processes, in particular in terms of the following main issues: (external water exchange, internal reservoir dynamics, hydrophysical characteristics of water masses) as environmental factors. The educational discipline "Ecological hydrology" is a component of the comprehensive training of specialists of the educational and qualification level "bachelor" specialty 103 "Earth sciences" of the educational program "Management and ecology of water resources".
