Abstract
The proposed project represents a logic continuation of accomplished basic and applicative research with a special stress on water quality and environmental protection. The project is divided into three, mutually connected coherent sub-projects: (1) Basic hydraulics, (2) Small catchment drainage, and (3) River dynamics. In the first sub-project we tackle an up to now neglected area of determination of an uniform formula for the hydraulic losses for all kind of flows (laminar, transient, turbulent at the one side and grade and pressurized flow at the other side). In the second sub-project we try to define specific runoff for the small catchments, and especially for motor- and highways also the pollution washout. Still in the framework of the second sub-project we try to construct with the methods of artificial intelligence efficient models for runoff prediction (flood waves). These problems will be also mathematically modelled. In the third sub-project we tackle river dynamics, i.e. sediment transport and disposal in impoundments with the accompanied environmental problems. For this sake we are developping a new method of kinematic survey of the bottom of water bodies with the use of GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite technology. As another view of the river dynamic we are going to tackle optimization of surge waves and energy production on hydroelectric power plants from the safety, environmental, and energetic points of view.
