Pristupačnost
The Department of Hydroscience and Engineering at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Zagreb, develops and offers courses in hydrotechnical engineering at the undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels. The Department also participates in scientific research by working together with scientific and professional institutions both internationally and domestically. With its expert team and state-of-the-art technology, it is involved in creating solutions and working on challenging professional hydrotechnical projects, ranging from studies, conceptual designs, mathematical models, expertise to all types of project documentation. Additionally, the Department provides review and evaluation of study and project documentation.
The Department of Hydroscience and Engineering is organized into chairs and laboratories:
-
-
Chair for Fundamental Research in Hydroscience
Chair for Hydraulic Engineering
Chair for Sanitary and Environmental Engineering
Hydrology and Hydraulics Laboratory
River Dynamics and Sediment Transport Laboratory
The Chair for Fundamental Research in Hydroscience places emphasis on fundamental topics such as fluid mechanics, hydraulics, and hydrology. The area of interest involves theoretical and experimental teaching of fluid flow processes and water balance issues of a catchment area.
The Chair for Hydraulic Engineering deals with the utilization of water resources, river flow regulations, hydraulic land reclamation, maritime hydraulic engineering, waterways and ports, hydraulic systems, and hydraulic structures. The area of interest is related to the use of inland waters and seas for various economic purposes, including hydroelectric power generation, irrigation, fish farming, water transportation, sports, and recreation. The teaching encompasses issues related to the protection of areas from the adverse effects of water and water management problems.
The Chair for Sanitary and Environmental Engineering primarily focuses on water supply, sewer and drainage systems, as well as environmental protection with a special emphasis on water and wastewater treatment. It covers all aspects of water supply, including systematic analysis and reduction of water losses, issues related to drainage and sewer, from wastewater collection, transportation, treatment, to final discharge into the environment. Special attention is given to conventional and advanced wastewater treatment technologies, environmental impacts assessment, risk analyses, sustainable development, and environmental carrying capacity assessments.
The Hydrology and Hydraulics Laboratory carries out both experimental and practical aspects of teaching and conducts current scientific research in the field of hydraulic engineering. The laboratory has the capability to construct various physical models and is equipped with all necessary measurement instruments and computer programs for research and analysis across the full entire spectrum of hydraulic engineering problems.
The Laboratory for River Dynamics and Sediment Transport specializes in the study of river dynamics, sediment transport, and the consequent impacts of morphodynamic changes on river ecosystems and structures.
