Course content
This discipline is devoted to the study of the main sections of hydrology, the general laws of processes in the hydrosphere; close interconnectedness of the hydrosphere with the atmosphere, lithosphere; water cycle on Earth; basic laws of physical and geographical distribution of water bodies of different types (rivers, lakes, glaciers, groundwater, swamps, oceans and seas) and their reserves; information on sources of nutrition of water bodies, physical and geographical characteristics of their basins, water, thermal ice regime, their significance and use, as well as attention is paid to students of meteorology consideration of the following issues - the formation of river runoff as the main source of fresh water, the impact on water flow of climatic factors, geological conditions, relief, depth of erosion cut, soil cover and vegetation, lakes and swamps, as well as emphasis is placed on the role of natural waters in the functioning of ecosystems, the impact of human economic activity on water resources and their rational use.
