1. Physical impact associated with the movement of machines and trampling,
2. Chemical impact in the form of the introduction of foreign substances into an
environment, and
3. Biological impact in the form of the introduction of foreign animal and plant
species into an environment as well as the removal of native animal and plant
species from an environment.
Other key threats can include a lowering of groundwater levels which leads to
the lowering of lake water levels, atmospheric pollution, poor state of equipment
designed to prevent reductions in water resources, improper wastewater treatment
systems, drainage works, fishing, lack of restrooms at tourist facilities, agriculture,
surface water collection, water sports, excessive numbers of tourists, roads, sewage
disposal, and climate change.
In the aspect of development and protection of water resources against the background of sustainable development, different needs of particular public groups are
observed, which are not always convergent. Also their role is not the same. Man
strives for development that would satisfy his existential, cultural and financial needs.
Unfortunately, this does not always go hand in hand with environmental protection,
although in recent years there has been a desire to live in an unpolluted environment
with high landscape and natural values. At the moment, public groups have little
capacity to co-decide in which direction the development of their inhabited areas
is to go, especially those related to the aspect of water. Also the creation of local
space by the community is quite limited, although in recent years there has been a
tendency to become more and more involved in local matters. The voice of people
is often noticed by the government, who use good ideas from the community. They
are also often overlooked. The role of the community is to propose own solutions
that create geographic space and enforce their implementation by local and regional
authorities. In turn, the role of the government is to conduct a sustainable development policy, i.e. one that allows the community to develop without harming the
natural environment. This policy should be based on the introduction of modern
technologies to human life, which are at the same time pro-ecological, ordering the
law related to the protection of valuable natural areas, as well as listening to the needs
of local communities and, if possible, implementation. The government must have a
far-reaching vision that would take into account the possible changes in the natural
environment resulting from global climate change, as well as potential shortages
of water suitable for use. Therefore, it should safeguard the rational distribution of
existing water resources. The last group that is important in running a sustainable
development policy are investors. They should remember that economic development
is important, but it should not cause significant changes in the environment. Nowadays, the living should leave the current state of the geographical environment for
future generations that could use it as much as they do today. They should therefore
cooperate with the government and public groups. In Fig. 3.8 added a flowchart to
summarize the needed actions from each party to help them to achieve this objective.
