4. Water resources management Assessments of the hydrological characteristics of the Polish territory during different climatic conditions. Estimation of water resources in flood, drought and average conditions. Assignment of the amount of minimal discharge. Person responsible for action Dr Tamara Tokarczyk, Eng

4. Water resources management Creation of homogeneous water quantity and quality database for about 100 selected monitoring points localised along the main Polish rivers. The assessments of surface water quality will take into account different climatic conditions, as in the periods of swelling, flood, drought and also in average conditions.

The changes in the value of the concentration of the nitrates against the value of the unit pollutant loads in the dry, wet and average period for the Przymorze rivers. Water quality

Conclusions The assumed device to evaluate the quality of water enables specifying the differences, which may take place together with the climatic changes. The results of evaluation of water quality from 100 monitored stations in the period of 10 years, from the concentration of the parameters of pollution have changed depending on various hydrological conditions (the volume of flows in particular years). The most significant differences were indicated for the nitrates, for which concentration in the wet year increased within the limits from 20% to 100% in comparison to the average year. The climatic changes taking place during 10 years did not cause clear water quality changes in the analyzed monitoring stations, still they are sufficient to postulate significant changes in the quantity of the unitary outflow of the pollutant load in various hydrological conditions, even over 200%”.

4. Water resources management Assessments of a collaboration system on the transboundary waters management with Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Russian Federation. Person responsible for action Dr Alfred Dubicki

Typical Collaboration System consist on:  hydrology, hydrogeolody, water management and flood protection,  plans of water management, shipping and transbounduary hydrotechnic structures,  keeping a river in good condition, regulation and hydrotechnic structures,  waste-water management and water quality.

International Czech – Polish – German hydrometeorological data exchange in Odra basin

The most important problems in cooperation with bordering country: Czech Republic:  Define of hydrological characteristic for boundary profile,  Circulation of water in Niecka Śródsudecka area and negotiation underground water balance,  Sliming of stream in Turów opencast mine region, Slovak Republic:  Small Hydro-Electric Power Station (MEW) in Sulina. Ukraine Republic:  without regulation monitoring,  reclamation area on sulphur mine, Belarus Republic:  Work of measure and control, Russian Federation  No respecting existing agreement  no agreement for water management

Assessment and summary of results of present cooperation on boundary water: 1. Cooperation on boudary water is correct, even good or very good with countries with which Poland has agreements for water management, all ellements of declared cooperation are realized. 2. The best cooperation is with Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Ukraine based on yearly plans of cooperation and their realisation. 3. „The Rules of Cooperation” is the main document specifying the scope and form of cooperation. 4. The difficulties in boundary cooperation are with the former Soviet Union Countries.
