Course content
The discipline is dedicated to the comprehensive study of the hydrographic network of Ukraine's nine designated river basin districts, their physical-geographic and water management zoning according to the standards of the EU Water Framework Directive. The course covers the analysis of river runoff formation, the assessment of the status of surface and groundwater bodies, and the morphometric and hydromorphological characteristics of main rivers and their tributaries. Special attention is given to identifying anthropogenic pressures on the basins, assessing environmental risks, water monitoring, and developing river basin management plans to ensure the sustainable use of the country's water resources.
