2. Célkitűzések és tanulási eredmények
2.1 Célkitűzések
The course aims to provide knowledge, methodology and tools for water quality management. The case studies presented cover the topics of water quality assessment, identification of main pollutants and pollution sources, analysis of the impact of emissions on water quality, estimation of diffuse loads, calculation of load capacity and planning of mitigation measures to ensure the achievement of the target water quality status. In addition to knowledge transfer, an important aim of the course is to prepare students for independent problem solving. During the development of the practical task, they will apply methodological (planning) principles to the preparation of water quality management strategies.
