and very low reserves (the utilisation level between 60 and 90% of all resources) can
be observed in water economic regions occupying only 1.9% of the country’s area.
The risk of groundwater shortage (the utilisation level exceeding 90%) concerns
only 1.4% of the country’s area. These are water economic regions where dewatering systems for brown coal open-cast mines and a large concentration of potable
water intakes in large urban and industrial agglomerations can be found [4, 39] – see

The groundwater resources in Poland include the estimated aquifer reserves in
particular balance regions, available for utilisation provided due consideration is
