Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
To know the theoretical foundations of hydraulic engineering, river hydrology, river flow and hydrological calculations. Possess elementary skills of hydrological and water balance calculations, statistical processing of hydrological series. To have methods of synthesis and analysis of information.
Course content
The goal of the discipline is for students to gain systemic insights into the development of schemes for the use of hydropower resources of rivers. The master should have a good idea of the role of reservoirs in flow regulation, comprehensive use and protection of water resources, know the types of flow regulation and their calculation methods, be familiar with the features of the current operation of reservoirs. The educational discipline is dedicated to the study of the theoretical and methodological foundations of water management and water-energy calculations in the world as a whole and in Ukraine, in particular, in terms of the following main issues: general laws of the complex use of water resources and the role of hydropower in it; essence of calculation methods of individual types of flow regulation; the main stages of designing water and energy facilities, their technical and economic justification; the practical importance of water power for the economy and for solving the problems of nature protection. The educational discipline "Water Management Calculations" is a component of the comprehensive training of specialists of the educational and qualification level "Master" of the educational program "Hydrology and Integrated Management of Water Resources" specialty 103 "Earth Sciences".

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, practical work, independent work, defenses of independently completed practical work, modular control work, exam
Assessment methods and criteria
During the semester, after the completion of the relevant topics, thematic written control papers with open questions are conducted. It is mandatory for the exam to write test papers according to content modules, to complete all practical works. For students who scored a total of less than the critical calculation minimum - 36 points, writing essays on insufficiently mastered topics is a mandatory condition for admission to the exam. The maximum number of points on the exam is 40 points, the minimum number of points that are added to the semester ones is 24 points (60% of the maximum number of points assigned to the exam). Students who, during the semester, scored a total of less points than the critical calculation minimum - 20 points are not allowed to take the exam. The recommended minimum for admission to the exam is 36 points.
