19 The Effects of Plant Irrigation in Poland

and small retention reservoirs, especially important for rural areas. Not long ago,
the Polish Minister of Agriculture has launched an irrigation program in agriculture.
As part of the first call for projects 89 million EUR (400 million PLN) will be
allocated to irrigation systems-related investments, and the total amount allocated to
the program is 222.15 million EUR (1 billion PLN). The program is aimed primarily
at farm owners in the areas most affected by drought in recent years [33]. However, the
development of irrigation systems, and thus water consumption in plant production,
will be determined by the productive and economic efficiency of agricultural crops.
19.5 Recommendations
The content presented in the chapter is significant for the proper and sustainable
management of water resources in agriculture both on a national and regional scale
as well as for the design and operation of irrigation systems in family farms or
commercial enterprises.
