Learning outcomes of the course unit
By passing the subject, the student will acquire new knowledge, knowledge and knowledge in the following areas:
1. Students will be able to apply knowledge in related fields, such as water treatment and wastewater treatment;
2. Students will acquire knowledge of life processes in natural waters and also obtain basic biotechnological knowledge related to water treatment and purification;
3. Students will acquire the knowledge and knowledge necessary to understand basic biological processes that occur in natural waters (primary production, eutrophication, stratification of water quality in tanks, succession, food preferences, saprobiology, biomanipulation, etc.);
4. Students gain knowledge that is a prerequisite for application in both scientific and technical practice;
5. Students will focus on the interaction of different components of the aquatic environment.
