Required previous subjects (need to be completed to register)
Hydrology 2 (BMEEOVVAI41)
Subjects from which previous midterm signature are required to register
Hydraulic Engineering, Water Management (BMEEOVVAT43)
Hydraulics 2 (BMEEOVVAI42)
The aim of the course is to transfer knowledge about the methods of river engineering, flood defence, lowland and hillside water management, hydropower utilization, fluvial navigation, agricultural water utilization. The course also provides the theoretical basis for the follow-up course called Hydraulic Engineering Design Project.
1. Knows the basic flow and sediment transport processes, and morphological features of streams
2. Knows the regulation methods of gullies, torrents, creeks and rivers, together with the most relevant design principles and technical features.
3. Understands the basic concepts of flood defence, knows the methods of flood damage mitigation and the technical solutions of flood defence.
4. Understands the operation principles, the technical features and the most important designs phases of flood protection dikes, weirs, dams,
5. Knows the basic principles of hydropower utilization, the set-up, function and operation principles of hydraulic structures, and able to perform the basic hydrologic and hydraulic calculations to support hydropower use.
6. Knows the technical solutions of lowland and hillside water management, the operation and design principles of drainage systems.
7. Knows the technical solutions, design and operation principles of irrigation systems.
8. Knows the basic principles of fluvial navigation, the technical methods of waterway management, the operation and design principles of waterway related hydraulic structures.
1. Adequate use of the concepts of water damage prevention and water use.
2. Ability to make recommendations on engineering measures for stream regulation.
3. Ability to perform a feasibility study of a flood defence dyke.
4. Ability to determine the basic data need of a hydropower utilization plan, ability to perform the basic hydrologic-hydraulic calculations of hydropower utilization. Ability to perform the design calculations of a drainage system.
5. Ability to perform the design calculations of an irrigation system.
1. Open to connect the gained knowledge with other disciplines (e.g. environment protection, economy)
2. Aims to apply the gained knowledge in practice.
3. Open to reveal literature related to the course.
1. Applies the system thinking approach.

Participation on, at least, 70% of the seminars and
pass the test in the midterm period.
1) The midterm test can be repeated (free of charge for the first time). New grade replaces the old one. Time of repeat will be given in the detailed semester schedule.
2) Should the repeat fail, a second attempt can be made, paying the fee according to regulations. Time of repeat will be given in the detailed semester schedule.
