Department of Water Resources

Department of Water Resources has been formed on 1 January 2009, following in a modern way the activities of the original Faculty of Agronomy, University of Agriculture, specializing in farmland water resources. These activities continued since the foundation of the university in 1952, being preceded by the education in agricultural subjects presented by the CVUT (Czech Institute of Technology, Prague). At present, Prof. Ing. Svatopluk Matula, CSc. is in charge of this Department. 

Hydropedology, Soil Physics, Surface and Soil Hydrology, Hydrogeology, Water Management in Agriculture and Natural Water Resources rank as top priority subjects at the FAFNR since the School has been founded. In addition, the Department also specializes in water resources development in the arid and semi-arid regions of the developing countries, namely in Africa.

The Department of Water Resources presents mainly the subjects investigating the mutual relations between the soil and water, the ground and water, and available water resources, resp. water sources finding, utilization, and management. The faculty and staff do participate in lecturing in the prestigious International Magister Program “Natural Resources and Environment“ and Bachelor Program „Sustainable Use of Natural Resources“. Some department faculty members teach in Bachelor, Magister, and PhD programs abroad on regular basis, for example in Finland, Estonia, etc.
