Modeling and Monitoring of Hydrodynamics and Surface Water Quality in the Sulejów Dam Reservoir, Poland
water Article Modeling and Monitoring of Hydrodynamics and Surface Water Quality in the Sulejów Dam Reservoir, Poland Aleksandra Ziemi ´nska-Stolarska 1,* and Magdalena Kempa 2 1 Faculty of Process and Environmental Engineering, Lodz University of Technology, Wólcza´nska213 Str., 90-924 Lodz, Poland 2 Norwegian Institute for Water Research, Gaustadalléen 21 Str., 0349 Oslo, Norway; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The aim of this work is to evaluate core variables of the ecological potential of the Sulejów Reservoir (temperature distribution, flow velocities, and concentrations of selected indicators, e.g., phosphates, nitrates, the abundance of phytoplankton) using a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model, GEMSS-HDM (generalized environmental modeling system for surface waters), coupled with a water quality model, WASP EUTRO (GEMSS-WQM). 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). -
Protected Areas of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship
Environmental Protection and Natural Resources Vol. 30 No 3(81): 35-46 Ochrona Środowiska i Zasobów Naturalnych DOI 10.2478/oszn-2019-0016 Dariusz Wojdan*, Ilona Żeber-Dzikowska*, Barbara Gworek**, Katarzyna Mickiewicz ***, Jarosław Chmielewski**** Protected areas of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship * Uniwersytet Jana Kochanowskiego w Kielcach, ** Szkoła Główna Gospodarstwa Wiejskiego w Warszawie, *** Instytut Ochrony Środowiska - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy w Warszawie **** Wyższa Szkoła Rehabilitacji w Warszawie; e-mail: [email protected] Keywords: Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, protection areas, natural objects, conservation Abstract The Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship is one of the smallest provinces in Poland, but it clearly stands out with a very well-preserved natural environment. 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. -
