and Recommendations for “Management
of Water Resources in Poland”

Abstract This volume discusses current problems and research topics studied by
scientists working on water resources in Poland. Based on many years of research
conducted by authors from various research centers from Poland, the main conclusions and recommendations are presented. First of all, surface and groundwater
resources as well as institutions responsible for the administration and management
of water resources in Poland were discussed. The further part of the book focuses on
changes in the hydrological regime of rivers, with particular emphasis on extreme
phenomena, i.e. floods and low flows. The remaining part of the study is devoted
to the economic importance of water resources for the needs of hydropower, inland
waterway, agriculture and industry. This part of the study draws attention to the
problems of sustainable use of water resources for the needs of human activities. A
set of recommendations regarding future possibilities of using water resources and
research was also indicated, which will be in line with strategic topics implemented
at the government level, which include projects to counteract the effects of drought
and floods.
