River training close to nature

During this subject students will get the knowledge about the close-to-nature river training. As long as the Water Frame and Flood directives are in force, the new river structures and river training methods are introduced. The main objective of the course is understanding which practices can be used in different parts of rivers.

Lectures

1. Hydrological introduction

2. Water Framework Directive

3. Fluvial processes in natural rivers

4. Hydromorphological characteristics of rivers

5. Hydraulic parameters of water flowing in river channels. River dynamics and riverbed stability.

6. Close to nature river structures

7. Methods of river training close to nature

8. The examples of river naturalization projects
