  • Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Department of Hydraulics and Hydrology - The department provides instruction in both theoretical and applied subjects in the Bachelor, Master and doctoral degree study. The main focus is on courses in Hydraulics, Hydrology, River Engineering and Water Management. The department also serves as a research workplace solving projects of fundamental and applied research. The research carried out at the department is thematically oriented towards: open channel flow and pipe flow, hydraulics of water structures and transport of sediments, flood protection and revitalization of streams, hill slope and catchment hydrology, rainfall-runoff modelling, transport of contaminants in natural porous formations.
  • The Institute of Hydrodynamics AS CR - The Institute of Hydrodynamics AS CR, v. v. i., is a part of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. At the present time, the scientific research can be divided into four groups: fluid mechanics, hydrology, rheology and water treatment. Although it is not apparent, these subjects have many things in common. They relate to hydraulics, water management, civil, chemical and physical engineering and environment.
  • TGM WRI - T. G. Masaryk Water Research Institute is an organisation focused both on applied and basic research, providing research solutions in water management and waste management.
