Reasonable water manage- ment where various forms of retention are used gives large chances for the mitigation of the effects of unfavorable phenomena related to its insufficient amount. The cre- ation of plans regarding the formation of reservoirs accumulating water is not nec- essarily synonymous with their realization. The reason of problems connected with the implementation of plans regarding the formation of new reservoirs lies mainly in financial measures and in problems with obtaining them. Water deficit in Poland is the reason for which the principles of its national usage need to be complied with. Real- ization of plans at both Voivodeship and municipality level that are focused on small retention will contribute to considerable increase in the retention capacity and will en- able considerable increase in available resources in hydrographic catchments of both the characterized area and the entire country. The paper presents the characteristics of the present state and assumes the perspective development of small water retention in the Podlaskie Voivodeship using the example of the Podlaskie Voivodeship. Keywords: small water retention, water reservoirs, small retention programs, Pod- laskie Voivodeship.

Wiejska 45 A, 15-351 Bialystok, Poland Key words: bottom sediments, heavy metals, grain distribution. Abstract The purpose of the paper was to evaluate the distribution of lead, zinc and chromium contents in different grain fractions of bottom sediments in the Narew River and some of its tributaries. This study also aimed to determine which fractions are mostly responsible for bottom sediment pollution. The studies of the Narew and its tributaries (the Supraśl, Narewka, and Orlanka) were conducted in September 2005 in the upper Narew catchment area. The analyzed bottom sediments differed regarding grain size distribution. The studies revealed the influence of the percentage of particular grain fractions present on the accumulation of heavy metals in all bottom sediments. 1 Corresponding author: [email protected] Copyright© by Institute of Oceanography, University of Gdańsk, Poland www.oandhs.org 86 M. Skorbiłowicz, E. Skorbiłowicz INTRODUCTION The presence of heavy metals in bottom sediments are a good indicator of aqueous environmental pollution (Helios-Rybicka 1991). The amount of heavy metals in river bottom sediments is not uniform. This is not only because of river-bed processes (Ladd et al.

    sustainability Article Socio-Spatial Aspects of Shrinking Municipalities: A Case Study of the Post-Communist Region of North-East Poland Katarzyna Kocur-Bera * and Karol Szuniewicz Department of Geoinformation and Cartography, Faculty of Geoengineering, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, 10-719 Olsztyn, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-895-234-583 Abstract: Urban shrinkage has become a common feature for a growing number of European cities and urban regions. Cities in Europe have lost populations during the previous few decades, many of them in the post-communist countries. A similar phenomenon has been observed in smaller units: municipalities and villages. Shrinking towns/municipalities/villages grapple with insufficiently used housing infrastructure, a decrease in labor force, investment and in the number of jobs. This analysis examines the socio-spatial factors present in municipalities in the north-east of Poland, which are expected to experience the greatest population decrease by 2030. The study focused mainly on determinants with the greatest impact on the good life standards. It also sought to answer why the population growth forecasts for these units are so unpromising. The findings have shown that the majority of determinants adopted in the conceptual model describing the good life standards are below the reference values. The applied taxonomic measure of good life standards (TMGL) method allowed for identifying five municipality clusters representing “different speeds” at which these forecasts are fulfilled. Two clusters have dominant determinants in five criteria and three clusters, in two criteria adopted in the conceptual model. The findings indicate that approx.

  • Water and Culture
    Water and culture Water and culture Water and culture THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER IN LITHUANIA History From 9th to 11th centuries Vikings raided and traded in the territory of Lithuania. Their main goal was to plunder Lithuanians and bring as much wealth as possible. It is also known that when they came to our country they did not only rob but also traded. Viking ship When the Viking era ended the Hanseatic Merchants' Union was established in the 13th century. Merchants from northern Europe, especially German, Prussian and Livonian cities, including Lithuania were involved in maritime trade. It is known that Lithuanians were selling fur, honey, wax, amber and buying metalware, weapons. From ancient times fish Nege (lot. Petromyzontidae) was mainly caught in Klaipeda (Lithuanian seaport) and produced for selling. The product was shipped to Germany. Nege is one of the oldest fish in the world. Invertebrate, has no bones. Scientists believe that it has survived since the age of dinosaurs. Nege About 80% of the world's amber is found in the Baltic Sea region. The Baltic amber is valuable because it is the easiest kind to process (to polish, cut, curve and etc.). Lithuanians used amber in manufacture of adornaments, medicine and other business from the ancient times. The amber industry in Lithuania has always managed to process raw amber material for various uses. It is the treasure of Lithuania. Amber Water and culture Throughout history, the Baltic Sea has been home to great naval fleets. Naval strength is vital to achieving maritime security, which is an essential component for stability in a region and a thriving economy.

Alders are actinorhizal plants that play an important ecological role in riparian ecosystems through atmospheric nitrogen fixation, filtration and purification of waterlogged soils as well as providing a refuge for terrestrial and aquatic organisms thus helping to stabilize stream banks. Black Alder used to be considered a very pest and disease resistant species but, the situation changed in 2000, when an unprecedented decline of Alders was observed in Poland. In the Białowieża Forest District, this decline has been observed on wet meadow habitats and along rivers or watercourses. Currently, there are several hypotheses explaining Alder dieback, among them climatic changes and Phytophthora infec- tions.

It brings different actors – inhabitants, institutions, organisations, enterprises and communities of the cross-border area closer to each other, in order to better exploit the opportunities of the joint development. In 2015 all the 117 projects co-financed by the Programme shall complete their activities. This publication will give you an insight into their main objectives, activities and results within the projects. It presents stories about cooperation in different fields, examples of how partner towns, villages or local institutions can grow and develop together. It proves that cross-border cooperation is a tremendous force stimulating the develop- ment of shared space and building ties over the borders. I wish all the partners involved in the projects persistence in reaching all their goals at the final stage of the Programme and I would like to congratulate them on successful endeavours in bringing tangible benefits to their communities. This publication will give you a positive picture of the border regions and I hope that it will inspire those who would like to join cross-border cooperation in the next programming period.
