River Water Quality Assessment and
Management in Poland

BACKGROUND: WATER RESOURCES AND WATER DEMANDS
Poland is 312,520 km2 in area, and its total water surface covers S,000
km2 or 1.6% of the total area of the country. Poland has about 9,300
lakes, covering an area of 3,200 km2. For example, the Masurian Lake
District has 1,063 lakes, the largest of which have areas of about 11,000
hectares. Lakes and artificial reservoirs have a capacity of 33 km3, and a
large number of ponds hold an additional 1 And. The two most important
rivers in the country are the Oder River, which has a basin area of 110,000
km2, and the Vistula River, with a basin area of 194,000 km2.
The water balance during a normal annual cycle in Poland is presented
below. The average annual amount of rainfall is 597 mm, equivalent to
186.6 km3 of water per year over the whole country. Since tributaries from
outside Poland yield an additional 5.2 km3 of water annually, the total input
of water is 191.8 km3. Underground water resources have been estimated
at 33 km3 per year for an area of 272,520 lane, since the remaining 13%
of the total area is waterless. The annual dynamic underground water
resources have been evaluated at 9.2 km3. However, rivers and streams
discharge only about 58.6 km3 of water into the Baltic Sea during a mean
low-flow year, and about 34 km3 in a mean dry-weather year. Obviously,
only a portion of this volume is available. About 10 km3 is necessary
as a minimum flow to maintain biological life and for sanitary reasons.
Therefore, the available flow is only 24 km3 of water.
Poland belongs to the group of European countries most deficient in
water resources, ranking 22nd overall. Average annual water resources in
Poland estimated on the basis of atmospheric inputs and the number of
population amount to 1,800 km3 per inhabitant, compared with 2,800 km3

LEGISLATION ANI) AI)MINISTRATIVE ASPECTS

Poland has a sixW-year history of legislation for water pollution control.
The Water Quality Act was issued in 1922 and revised in 1962. Presently,
the basis for legal action in the field of water protection against pollution is
a new version of the Water Law Act issued by the Polish Parliament in 1974.
In 1975, on the basis of the Water Law, the Council of Ministers announced
regulations concerning classification of waters and determination of of
effluent standards, as well as financial penalties for the effluent discharges
that do not meet the requirements specified in the regulations. These
regulations are set up for biological oxidation demand (BOD), chemical
oxidation demand (COD), ether extracts, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),
various metals. and pesticides. The following classes of surface water quality
were established:
· Class I waters are those used for municipal and food processing
supply purposes, and for salmon fish growth.
· Class I! waters are intended for use as recreational waters, including
swimming, and for growth of fish other than salmonidae.
Class III waters (the lowest class) are only used as industrial water
supplies and for irrigation purposes.
Water-quality standards are tailored to meet appropriate use of surface
waters. For example, permissible concentrations of selected constituents
for the different classes are shown in Able 1. In addition, the following
provisions are laid down by the Water Law:
.
Industrial plants and other operations which discharge wastewaters
to water or to land are obliged to construct, maintain, and utilize wastewater
treatment facilities.
· Without simultaneous operation of wastewater treatment systems,
no industrial plant or any other plant from which wastewater is discharged
can be started up.
.
A permit is required to to maintain wastewater discharge.
In order to promote administrative measures for overall conservation
of the environment, a Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natu-
ral Resources was established with environmental offices on a voivodship
(district) level.
WATER-QUALITY SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
The water~uality surveillance system is composed of conventional and
automatic monitoring stations. The conventional monitoring with manual
sampling at the district level was established in 1957. At present, the
country is covered by a network of about 3,000 conventional stations and

established cross-sections located along 30,000 km of streams. The sampling
frequency depends on the purpose for which data are recorded, ranging
from a minimum of bimonthly sampling up to daily sampling at some
points. The sampling of water is performed simultaneously with the rate of
flow measurements.
For the continuous monitoring of the Oder and Vistula, the automatic
water-quali~ monitoring stations (AWQMS) have been installed at impor-
tant cross-sections, connected mostly with water intakes. The AWQMS
are located either in laboratory buildings or on barges. The automatic
network, one of the first in Europe, has been operating since 1968. It was
organized under the auspices of the World Health Organization (WHO)),
and initially was based on imported monitoring equipment. At present, do-
mestic automatic monitors (Aquamers) are being used. These monitors are
capable of measurement and teletransmission of such parameters as water
temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), chlorides, turbidity,
water level, and meteorological data. Additional parameters will be added
after suitable sensors are developed.
However, it should be stressed that the scarcity of automatically mea-
surable parameters limits the efficient application of AWQMS. The devel-
opment of automatic measuring devices for other important parameters
such as heavy metals, organo-chlorine compounds, oxidized nitrogen, solu-
ble organic content, and others is greatly needed. At present, the automatic
stations are also used for manual bioassay tests and fish tests. The future
surveillance development program calls for the Basic Water-Quality Moni-
toring Network (BWQMN) based on a limited number of stations (with ex-
tensive measurements) as supplementary to the conventional water-qualibr
surveillance system (Zielinski et al., 1988~.
COMPUTERIZED DATA ANALYSIS
The river monitoring network provides a large number of observed
data. These data are analyzed by a statistical method based on the as-
sumption that, at a given cross-section, some correlation exists between the
pollutant concentration and the rate of flow (Manczak, 1973~. Three basic
types of curves representing this correlation are applied (Figure 2~. The
shape of the curve depends on many factors, such as the degree of water
pollution, the type of pollutant, hydrological characteristics of the river,
its self-purification capacity, the distance between monitoring stations, and
others. Figure 3 provides an example of the correlations between BOD,
permanganate value (PV), dissolved oxygen (DO), and phenols for the
Oder River at one of the monitoring stations. These relationships have
been derived from about 300 observations within a year, with temperatures
ranging from 0.1°C to 27°C. Inorganic compounds, such as chlorides and

sulfates, are usually described by correlations defined by curves I and II in
Figure 2; the effect of temperature is not included (Figure 4~.
From these relationships between stream flow and concentrations of
water-quality constituents, so-called indicative concentrations (IC) for a
design flow are established. The mean low streamflow (MLQ) has been
selected as the design streamflow at each site, based on the assumption
that higher streamflows will result in higher DO concentrations and better
water quality. In other countries, a similar approach has been taken. For
example, in the United States the design flow is the minimum average
7-day consecutive flow expected once every lO years. However, this is an
extremely low streamflow which is exceeded more than 99% of the time.
The IC values are plotted along the river for various water~uali~
constituents. Final interpretation is based on these hydrochemical pro-
files (Figure 5), and the overall river classification is performed after all

tionally, the water-quality standards established by the Council for Mutual
Economic Assistance (COMECON) were used; therefore, five-point curves

MATHEMATICAL SIMULATION AND MANAGEMENT MODELS
Mathematical modeling of river systems in Poland has become an
integral part of water resources planning and water-quality management.
These models can be used to aid water-quality surveillance and to predict
future water-quantity/quality conditions (Gromiec et al., 1983~. Various
computerized models have been applied for water-quality simulations in
the Oder and Vistula rivers. As an example, a Streeter-Phelps type model

and QUAL I model were used to evaluate concentrations of BOD in the
Vistula River reaches (Figure 7~. The first model is designed to simulate
the spatial and temporal variations in BOD under various conditions of flow
and temperature. The second model is capable of routing BOD, DO, and
temperature through a one-dimensional, completely mixed branching river
system. These BOD-DO models are representative of non-conservation
coupled models. It should be stressed that the predictions obtained from
these models are only as reliable as the input data, proper measurement,
and estimation of the various model parameters.
In addition to prediction of water quality by simulation, mathematical
models have been serving as the basis for determination of investment
policies in the construction of treatment plants. For example, a water-
quality management model has been applied to the Klodnica River. The
main goal was to determine, for the given system of wastewater treatment
plants, the level of efficiency necessary to achieve the required standard of
water quality at the least cost. The quality of the Klodnica River catchment
at the respective stages of the management program is shown in Figures
8-10.
It should be stressed, however, that these management models are only
tools in assisting management decision-making processes. Final decisions
are usually not made only on the basis of their predictions. Additional
data, including socio-political factors, are taken into account. Still, in spite
of their limitations, these models are the only reasonable means presently
available for the prediction of water quality.
WATER-QUALITY MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
Processes of intensive urbanization, growth of population, intensifica-
tion of agriculture, and the growth of industry have resulted in deterioration
of surface water resources, despite the introduction of legal, technical, and
financial measures for water pollution control (see Chapter 22, this vol-
ume). About 80% of wastewater comes from 600 cities and 2,800 industrial
sites, with chemical, machinery, mining, power, food, and paper production
industries as the main polluters. Currently, only about 60% of all wastew-
ater is treated. Recognizing that water is a valuable resource, a Central
Program on Water Resource Management was instituted in 1985 at the
Institute of Meteorology and Water Management.
The problem of water pollution control has become one of the most
important environmental problems in Poland, since the majority of industry
is situated in the south near the origins of the countries river systems.
In addition, the main rivers the Vistula and Oder are heavily used
for municipal and industrial water supply, agricultural irrigation, cooling
purposes for power plants, and navigation; however, these rivers also

receive discharges of wastewater with varying degrees of treatment and
runoffs. These multiple uses impose competing demands on waters, and
water resource management must protect many desirable uses.
The principal water~uality problems in Poland are related to:
· effects of dams and other water management slouches resulting
from phenomena associated with impounded water;
effects of power plants, since the discharge of heat from cooling
operations is considered to be a specific pollutant;
· effects of municipal and industrial wastewater, including saline dis-
charges from coal mines; and
· influence of non-point sources, such as agriculture and urban
stormwaters.
.
However, a regulatory program for nonpoint sources and groundwater has
not been instituted to date.
Research and implementation activities in water-quality management
in Poland have been connected with international cooperation. Protection
of the Baltic Sea was agreed upon in the 1974 Helsinki Convention, and
Poland is taking steps to implement its provisions. A number of interna-
tional development and demonstration projects sponsored by the United
Nations also have been undertaken. One of these is the Comprehensive
Environmental Programme (POL/CEP) conducted under the auspices of
the the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Upper Sile-
sia. This program is aimed at the solution to problems of air, water, and
soil pollution in this heavily industrialized and highly polluted region of
Poland. In addition, the M. Sklodowska-Curie Joint Fund II was estab-
lished by the governments of Poland and the United States to support
a wide range of scientific and technological cooperation in various fields,
including environmental protection.
CONCLUSION
On the whole, Poland is a water-poor country, where various conflicts
over water resource use and development are on the rise. Water resources
are unevenly distributed among different parts of the country, water supplies
now appear inadequate in quantity and quality, and demand grows in many
regions.
Existing policies in Poland do not adequately protect water quality,
with the result of serious deterioration in water quality. The negative
consequences of this fact are borne by all water users. A number of
constraints make traditional policies less effective than in the past. Present
policies are based on the concept of regional management. In addition,
many traditional strategies for solving water-quality problems, such as

downstream pollution control, are extremely costly. The National Program
for Protection of the Natural Environment to the Year 2010 calls for water
pollution control investments of between 4,000 billion zlotys (variant A) to
2,590 billion zlotys (variant B) in 1986 constant prices.
In view of this commitment, river basin oriented approaches, water
conservation and pollution prevention approaches, and the restructuring
of industry are clearly needed to assure use of the most cost-effective
solutions to water resource problems in Poland. Water~uality improve-
ment programs should be aimed at improvement of treatment methods,
implementation of advanced treatment processes, recovery and water reuse
in industry, and encouraging the production of biodegradable detergents
and pesticides along with use of dry technologies. Systems analysis is an
extremely useful tool for the analysis of river systems and for providing
information on the effect of particular policies.
