Learning outcomes
|
Water, soil and air are one of the most important components of the environment for humans, without which they cannot do. Their condition is directly reflected in the quality of human life and health. The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with the current state of the environment and modern trends in protection and responsible management within the industrial and agricultural landscape of the Czech Republic. The student is familiar with the state of water management in the Czech Republic, the quality and quantity of surface and underground water resources in the Czech Republic, and modern trends in the treatment of sewage, industrial and agricultural water, as well as the possibilities of using and retaining rainwater in the landscape. In the framework of air protection, attention is paid to monitoring the state of the air and the technological possibilities of reducing emissions from various sources as a result of human activity (local heating plants, transport, industry and energy, agriculture). Part of the subject is also soil protection, where the student gets to know the state of the soil fund of the Czech Republic, forms of soil degradation due to water and wind erosion, loss of organic carbon, soil consolidation and its acidification, salinization and contamination, as well as modern methods of agricultural technology facing these effects.
After completing the course, the student acquires a general overview of the state of the environment and is introduced to modern methods and current trends of sustainable development within the industrial and agricultural landscape of the Czech Republic. The knowledge gained can be used in the state administration, ČIŽP, WWTP, agricultural and forestry production, etc., and enable subsequent deeper specialized education in the subsequent master's study.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Oral examination, Didactic test, Discussion
The evaluation of the acquired knowledge and orientation in the presented subject matter will be made up of a combination of the student's long-term speech during lectures as part of discussions (20%), a written standardized didactic test (30%) and a final oral exam (50%). Successful completion of the test (min. 50% success rate with the option of a make-up test) requires the possibility of passing an oral exam with the possibility of make-up dates.
