“Water Resources, Quality, and Management in Poland” in the SCOPUS database
during 2001–2019, with more than 90% of the published documents. Based on the
previous information, Poland country was followed by Germany, United Kingdom,
United States, Netherlands, and Czech Republic, revealing the importance of Poland
water resources on the Baltic region and other countries with similar climatic regimes.
2.8 Recommendations
Poland has relatively small water resources; hence, some recommendations should
be considered to maintain water availability in the country:
• Scientific, academic, environmental, and engineering contributions should be
interacted to solve the recent and upcoming challenges essential to the water
availability in Poland.
• Feasible and cost-effective frameworks for the long-term management of water
resources in Poland are required.
• Regular spatial and temporal surveys on various physicochemical parameters
of water bodies (e.g., temperature, pH, turbidity, solids, dissolved oxygen,
organic matter, and nutrients), as well as pathogenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella
typhimurium, and Vibrio cholera, should be assessed.
• Adaptation strategies and proper wastewater treatment technologies should be
considered to avoid the release of wastes from the agricultural and industrial
sectors into Polish water bodies.
• Water resources planning and management should consider additional water
supply infrastructures.
• More stakeholders should contribute to the Regional Water Management Boards,
dealing with water resources planning and management, flood and erosion control,
and water purification.
