The overall aim of the BLUE2 study is to support the Commission in building up its analytical capacity and understanding of the economics and effectiveness of the EU water acquis. BLUE2 is comprised of two parts, as shown in Figure 1: Figure 1 Overview of the BLUE2 study The overall objective of Part A of BLUE2 is to increase the understanding of the full (economic) value that water, and water services generate and how water resources contribute to economic development and citizens' well-being. The findings of BLUE2 will further assist in quantifying how the EU water acquis contributes to this value generation, using the most appropriate valuation techniques. The overall objective of Part B of BLUE2 is to develop a method for the integrated socio- economic assessment of policies affecting the quality of the freshwater and marine environment, to be applied in connection with the water and marine modelling framework held by the Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC). The method and accompanying tools will be used to support policy development. In particular, Part B aims to establish an EU pressures inventory and measures database. Additionally, Part B will increase the understanding of the cost-effectiveness of measures and the benefits arising from a reduction of pressures on the freshwater and marine environment through the application of two online modelling tools. A Scenario Generation Tool for defining and generating policy scenarios for JRC modelling and an Evaluation Tool for cost-benefit assessment of the created scenarios. Task A3 of BLUE2 developed a bottom-up multicriteria methodology to compare costs and benefits of water policy at the River Basin District level. This annex summarises the results of the application of the methodology developed in Task A3 to the Vistula RBD. 1 Description of the River Basin District Wisła (Vistula) Figure 2 The River Vistula Basin District Overall description of the RBD The River Vistula (Pol. Wisła) basin district (RVBD) is the largest catchment in Poland with an area of 183,176 km2 (whose 87.5% in Poland). It covers nearly 60% of the whole area of the country. The sources of the main River Vistula are located on the slope of the Barania Góra mountain in Beskid Śląski and the mouth of the river is in the Zatoka Gdańska (Baltic Sea). Due to its large area, the RVBD covers several administrative units in Eastern Poland, these are Voivodships (from south to north – along the River Vistula course): śląskie, małopolskie, podkarpackie, lubelskie, świętokrzyskie, łódzkie, mazowieckie, podlaskie, warmińsko-mazurskie, kujawsko- pomorskie, pomorskie, i.e. 11 out of all 16 Voivodships in Poland. It terms of geographical variability, the RVBD covers three physio-geographical units: Subcarpatian Region, Eastern Europe without Alpian regions and Eastern European lowlands. It means that the RVBD is of mountainous character in its southern part (approximately up to Dunajec tributary), which later changes into highland character (approximately up to the River San tributary) and finally lowland rivers catchment up to the River Vistula mouth. The most important left tributaries of the River Vistula are: Przemsza, Nida, Czarna, Kamienna, Iłżanka, Radomka, Pilica, Bzura, Brda, Wda, and Wierzyca, whereas the right tributaries are: Soła, Skawa, Raba, Dunajec, Wisłoka, San, Wieprz, Świder, Narew, Skrwa, Drwęca, Osa and Liwa. The significant discharges of the River Vistula and frequent inundations lead to the building of several artificial reservoirs that mostly play flow-regulating, fresh-water supplying and power- generating roles; the biggest artificial reservoirs are Wisła-Czarne, Goczałkowice and Włocławek. Within the RVBD there are: 2,660 rivers, 6 near-sea rivers, 5 channels, 484 lakes and 94 groundwater water reservoirs. The population in the RVBD reaches 24.5 million inhabitants. The most important Polish cities with regards to their cultural heritage and economic significance are located in the area of the River Vistula Catchment, including: Kraków (population: 766,739 in 2017), Katowice (population: 297,177 in 2017), Lublin (population: 340,230 in 2017), Warszawa (population: 1,758,143 in 2017), Białystok (population: 296,628 in 2017), Toruń (population: 202,591 in 2017), Bydgoszcz (population: 353,215 in 2017) and Gdańsk (population: 464,293 in 2017). It is estimated that 64% of the RVBD area

To develop effective and optimal wild cat conservation programmes with assisted reproductive technology (ART) it is necessary to combine advances from different disciplines of science, starting from the biology of the species, through research into the population and habitat, assisted reproductive technologies, establishment of gene banks, developing bioinformatic systems, and ending with biodiversity and endangered species management. In the last few years knowledge of felid reproduction has expanded considerably thanks to comparative studies utilising the domestic cat as a research model for endangered wild cats. Basic reproductive techniques utilised in both domestic cat breeding and rescuing wild felid populations that are threatened with extinction include semen collection and cryopreservation, artificial insemination, oocyte collection, in vitro maturation, in vitro fertilisation, somatic cloning, and embryo transfer.

The monitoring data necessary to build the model were obtained from two multiparameter probes that were submerged in two locations in the Sulejów Reservoir. An ADCP current profiler was used to collect data for hydrodynamic model calibration and verification. Total error between computed and measured velocity was estimated at 10–15%. A high concentration of chlorophyll-a during the vegetation season of 2015 (0.02 mg/L) was coupled with high water temperature (above 25 ◦C) and low concentrations of biogenic compounds (phosphorus and nitrogen at 0.02 and 0.001 mg/L, respectively). In 2015, NO3-N was the limiting nutrient in the Sulejów Reservoir. Maximum growth of algae was observed in June and July 2015 (0.02 mg/L chla) along the entire length of the reservoir; algae bloom volume reduction was observed Citation: Ziemi´nska-Stolarska,A.; in September (0.004 mg/L chla).

Because of exceptional features of animate and inanimate nature, large parts of the province are covered by various forms of nature protection. There is 1 national park (NP), 72 nature reserves (NRs), 9 landscape parks, 21 protected landscape areas and 40 Natura 2000 sites within the administrative borders of the province. The most unique natural features are found in the Świętokrzyski National Park (ŚNP), but the largest surface of the province is covered by protected landscape areas. Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship is the first in Poland in terms of the share of protected areas (as much as 65.2%), strongly outdistancing other Voivodeships. Small natural objects are much more numerous than large protected areas. At present, the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship has 705 natural monuments (NMs), 114 ecological sites (ESs), 20 documentation sites (DSs) and 17 nature and landscape complexes (NLCs). Moreover, new protected areas and sites may still be established within its borders. © IOŚ-PIB 1. INTRODUCTION [Polish Journal of Laws 2004, no.

  • They Fought for Independent Poland
    2019 Special edition PISMO CODZIENNE Independence Day, November 11, 2019 FREE AGAIN! THEY FOUGHT FOR INDEPENDENT POLAND Dear Readers, The day of November 11 – the National Independence Day – is not accidentally associated with the Polish military uni- form, its symbolism and traditions. Polish soldiers on almost all World War I fronts “threw on the pyre their lives’ fate.” When the Polish occupiers were drown- ing in disasters and revolutions, white- and-red flags were fluttering on Polish streets to mark Poland’s independence. The Republic of Poland was back on the map of Europe, although this was only the beginning of the battle for its bor- ders. Józef Piłsudski in his first order to the united Polish Army shared his feeling of joy with his soldiers: “I’m taking com- mand of you, Soldiers, at the time when the heart of every Pole is beating stron- O God! Thou who from on high ger and faster, when the children of our land have seen the sun of freedom in all its Hurls thine arrows at the defenders of the nation, glory.” He never promised them any bat- We beseech Thee, through this heap of bones! tle laurels or well-merited rest, though. On the contrary – he appealed to them Let the sun shine on us, at least in death! for even greater effort in their service May the daylight shine forth from heaven’s bright portals! for Poland. And they never let him down Let us be seen - as we die! when in 1920 Poland had to defend not only its own sovereignty, but also entire Europe against flooding bolshevism.

  • Reservoir Sedimentation Problems in the Vistula River Basin, Poland
    Erosion and Sediment Yield: Global and Regional Perspectives (Proceedings of the Exeter Symposium July 1996). IAHSPubl.no. 236, 1996. 501 Reservoir sedimentation problems in the Vistula River basin, Poland ADAM LAJCZAK Institute of Nature Conservation, Polish Academy of Sciences, Lubicz str. 46, 31-512 Cracow, Poland Abstract Existing knowledge of the geometric and hydrological characteristics of existing and planned dam reservoirs in the Vistula River basin, Poland, and of the spatial differentiation of suspended sediment and bed load transport in the area provides a basis for proposing appropriate locations for planned reservoirs in the river basin. If the location and the order of building of the planned dams conform to these proposals, this will result in slow silting of the reservoirs with advantages both for the use of the river as a waterway and for maximizing the useful life of the reservoirs. INTRODUCTION The correct planning of the development multipurpose reservoir systems in large river basins, where the rivers are characterized by different hydrological regimes and different suspended sediment loads and bed load yields, presents an important problem for fluvial sedimentology. Estimation of the useful lifetime of reservoirs of very diffe­ rent initial geometric and hydrological characteristics, when their functions are fulfilled, must be a prelude to the correct location of planned structures. This time period, which has been estimated for every reservoir studied according to the concept proposed, should not be shorter than the amortization time of the reservoir. The above procedure can be undertaken if the following information is available: (a) the average annual suspended sediment load and bed load as measured at successive gauging stations on the river and its tributaries over a suitable period of time; (b) the initial geometric and hydrological characteristics of existing and planned reservoirs; and (c) the initial trap efficiency for the suspended sediment load of every reservoir studied.
