BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The department was organized in 1945 on the initiative of professors NL Korzhenevsky, VM Chetyrkin, VL Shultz, OP Shcheglova and others. These scientists are the founders of the scientific school “Mountain Hydrology”.
At the beginning of the 50s of the last century, the training of geographers-hydrologists, and subsequently of engineers-hydrologists, began.
After the Republic gained independence, the department began training bachelors – hydrometeorologists since 1995, and since 2001 on the basis of this direction, magistracy specialties have been opened.
In different years, such famous scientists-hydrologists as professors V.L. Shultz, O.P. Shcheglova, V.E. Chub, E.I. Chembarisov, associate professors – Z.V. Dzhorzhio, P.M. Mashukov, R.Mashrapov, N.K. Lukina, L.I.Shalatova, I.R. Alimukhamedov, A.R.Rasulov, E.M. Videneeva, M.A.Nosirov and others.
Over the past period, the department has trained more than 1500 hydrological engineers, bachelors-hydrometeorologists, as well as more than 50 masters in hydrology and hydrometeorology. Today, more than 40 of them have a doctorate in science, more than 250 – a candidate of sciences.
Currently, the department employs 1 doctor of sciences, professors, 4 candidates of sciences, 2 senior teachers, 2 teachers and 1 basic doctoral student. Also, when teaching students, scientists and specialists from the Hydrometeorological Research Institute, Doctor of Geographical Sciences, G. Mamazhonova, and Candidate of Technical Sciences B.E. Nishonov, will take part in the educational process.
The department has full-time and part-time education in the areas of 60530800-Hydrology (land hydrology), master’s degree in the specialties 75030801-Hydrology (by type of activity). A system of basic doctoral studies (PhD) and doctoral studies (DSc) has been created in the specialties 11.00.03 – Land hydrology. Water resources. Hydrochemistry.
Graduates of the department work at the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Center for Hydrometeorological Service, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Uzbekhydroenergo Joint Stock Company, the State Committee for Ecology and Environmental Protection, the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan and industry research institutes.
The main training courses of the department – Introduction to hydrology, geophysics, hydraulics, hydrometry, hydrography, hydrophysics, hydrochemistry, basics of hydrology, hydrogeology, reclamation hydrology, glaciology, inland water protection, statistical methods and mathematical modeling in hydrology, their effective use, mathematical modeling, impact on the ocean of changes in the potential of natural resources of Uzbekistan, calculation of river flow, hydrotechnical research, hydraulic structures, efficient use of water resources, hydrology and climatology.
Sustainable development of all sectors of the economy, especially agriculture and industry, is directly related to the efficient use of available water resources. From this point of view, the subject of research work carried out at the department: surface water resources of the Aral Sea basin; mountain glaciers; the laws of river flow formation; hydrometeorological regime of lakes; comprehensive study of the regularities of the hydrological regime of water bodies and their protection
