and their impact on production effects, which depend on weather, climate and soil
factors.
The last chapter in this part of the book entitled “Power Plant Open Cooling
System in the Context of the Objectives of the Water Framework Directive” was
written by Leszek Pająk and Agnieszka Operacz, from the University of Agriculture
in Kraków, Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Land Surveying, and
Barbara Tomaszewska from AGH University of Science and Technology in
Kraków, Faculty of Geology, Geophysic and Environmental Protection. This
chapter discusses the impact of cooling water discharges on achieving environmental objectives resulting from the WFD used in a conventional power plant.
The last part of the book entitled “Conclusions” was written by the editors. The
last chapter contains “Updates, Conclusions, and Recommendations for
“Management of Water Resources in Poland”” and closes the volume of the
book with the main conclusions and recommendations of the volume, as well as an
update of some arrangements.
Special thanks to all who contributed in making this high-quality volume a real
source of knowledge and the latest findings in the field of water resources in Poland.
We would love to thank all the authors for their invaluable contributions. Without
their patience and effort in writing and revising the different versions to satisfy the
high-quality standards of Springer, it would not have been possible to produce this
book and make it a reality. Much appreciation and great thanks are also owed to the
reviewers and the editors of the Earth and Environmental Sciences series at
Springer for the constructive comments, advice and critical reviews.
Acknowledgments are extended to include all members of the Springer team who
have worked long and hard to produce this volume.
The volume editor would be happy to receive any comments to improve future
editions. Comments, feedback, suggestions for improvement or new chapters for
next editions are welcome and should be sent directly to the volume editors.
