Implementation Strategy:
1.
Flood risk management plans for river basin districts.
2.
Development of a drought management plan.
A national program of surface water re-naturalization-
an action aimed at identifying the threats and causes of hydro morphological
changes in watercourses and at planning remedial actions that will enable the
achievement of environmental objectives for these watercourses.
Note*: A plan on how the strategy will be monitored
is still being developed for the country, and the cost of the implementation of
the new sustainable development agenda is unknown.
Climate in Relation to Water and Sanitation:
Rainfall: Poland’s total water balance depends on the
amount of rainfall in the river basins, its distribution over time and the
natural and artificial retention potential, including the ability to utilize
rainwater.
Water and Sanitation are issues for Poland due to the
fact that Poland is characterized by relatively small water resources of about
1,580 m3/year per inhabitant, which is only about 35% of the European average.
Given the population density, Poland often faces water scarcity problems in
some areas of the country.
Resources:
EU Structural Funds- investments in wastewater
management outside Poland, in the Bug River catchment area is being
implemented.
