RESERVOIR IN KOLBARK-KOBYLICA
KLUCZE MUNICIPALITY

Preliminary analysis of the possibilities and assumptions of the concept for the construction of the planned reservoir in Kolbark-Kobylica on the Biała Przemsza River in the Klucze Municipality with a functional analysis with regard to flood protection, small retention, and recreation – Klucze Municipality – 2020.

The subject of the commissioned work was a preliminary analysis of the possibilities and assumptions of the concept for the construction of the planned reservoir in Kolbark-Kobylica on the Biała Przemsza River in the Klucze Municipality with a functional analysis with regard to flood protection, small retention, and recreation (Klucze Municipality, Olkusz Poviat) on 56.8 km of the river Biała Przemsza. Using knowledge-based spatial modelling tools, flood and recreational functions were verified and retention capacity was determined. The effects of the investment were assessed by analysing the changes in the value of ecosystem services provided by the environment and the planned reservoir. It was indicated that the reservoir has a positive influence on local ecosystems, performs an important role in limiting the effects of progressive climate change, increases biodiversity, secures water supply for economic and fire fighting purposes in the municipality. The benefits for the inhabitants of the region, who gain attractive places for recreation, were also indicated. The proposed location of the reservoir was introduced into the spatial development plans of the Klucze Municipality. The next stages of the investment are implemented on the basis of the research performed by the SWC.

INDUSTRIAL WATERS OF THE NURSERY FARM “KRÓLÓWKA”
KOBIÓR

Analysis of the quality of industrial water of the Nursery Farm “Królówka” in Kobiór in terms of dwarfing of seedlings – ”State Forests” National Forest Holding Forest Inspectorate Kobiór – 2019

The aim of the study was to analyse the quality of water from two own deep wells of the Nursery Farm, used in the “Królówka” forestry container nursery for watering seedlings. On the basis of the analyses, the cause of the dwarfing of seedlings was indicated and corrective measures were proposed.

POGORIA III RESERVOIR
DĄBROWA GÓRNICZA MUNICIPALITY

Analysis of the condition and development of recommendations for the management of the Pogoria III water reservoir – Dąbrowa Górnicza Municipality – 2019.

The subject of the study was the assessment of the condition of the Pogoria III reservoir made on the basis of research, field study, and laboratory analyses. The works were undertaken in order to diagnose the causes of the deteriorating water quality in the reservoir as indicated by the results of measurements conducted by the Provincial Environmental Protection Inspectorate in Katowice for the bathing beach, according to the information obtained from the Principal. The research included bathymetric and physicochemical measurements made from the surface of the reservoir with the use of floating equipment and a review of available historical data. The measurement results reflect the water condition on the measurement day. Understanding the variability of water quality and assessment of the processes taking place in the reservoir will require the analysis of data from at least the full hydrological year, taking into account meteorological conditions such as rainfall, temperature, wind direction, and strength as well as direct anthropogenic factors.

RESERVOIRS OF THE LEMNA WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
KOCHCICE

Analysis of the condition of the resevoirs in the Lemna wastewater treatment plant in Kochcice – Browarski Roman “HYDROTECH” Zakład Ochrony Środowiska

The aim of the research was to determine the model of the reservoir bowl of the wastewater treatment plant in Kochcice, the analysis of the thickness of bottom sediments, and the large-scale analysis of the physicochemical parameters of the waters of these reservoirs. Two water reservoirs of the Lemna 1 and Lemna 2 wastewater treatment plants in Kochcice were analysed. Additionally, selected physicochemical parameters of the waters flowing into the Kochcice stream were analysed with a multi-parameter probe.

SEDIMENT FIELD IN CHUCHUŁKA HAMLET
PSZCZYNA

Study of the thickness of the sediments deposited in the sediment field located in the hamlet of Chuchułka in Pszczyna – Górnośląskie Przedsiębiorstwo Wodociągów SA in Katowice

The aim of the study was to determine the degree of terrestrialisation of the sedimentary fields, the Chuchułka sedimentation reservoir for technological sediments from the Water Treatment Plant in Goczałkowice and the forecast time of its complete terrestrialisation.

GOCZAŁKOWICE RESERVOIR

Development of a report on the condition of groundwater around the Goczałkowice Reservoir (“Quantitative Report”), 12 monthly reports to assess the quality of surface waters (“Quality Reports”), and a report on the spatial variability of the waters of the Goczałkowice Reservoir (“Report on Variability”) – Górnośląskie Przedsiębiorstwo Wodociągów SA in Katowice – 2019-2020

Groundwater monitoring was carried out with the use of piezometers of the monitoring network established as part of the ZiZOZap project. Groundwater monitoring included quantitative and qualitative research on groundwater. As part of the qualitative monitoring, chemical composition and quality tests were performed in the scope of the analysis of unstable parameters (temperature, pH, EC, Eh) and in the scope of the most common pollution indicators (nitrogen compounds, phosphates, chlorides, sulphates)..

The report was prepared on the basis of continuous and patrol monitoring of surface waters. Continuous monitoring sets the trend of modern water quality measurement methodology. Continuous monitoring of the physical and chemical parameters of water allowed to show the dynamics of the observed indicators, not only seasonal but also diurnal.

A large-scale analysis of the waters of the Goczałkowice reservoir was carried out, i.e. a physicochemical spatial analysis of the reservoir including the following parameters: temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, turbidity, salinity, and Secchi disc visibility. Statistical analysis of the distribution of parameters in the area of the reservoir using the kriging method and the selection of possible endangered areas was used to prepare a 3D map of the physicochemical variability of the waters of the Goczałkowice Reservoir.

PIŃCZOWSKI RESERVOIR
PIŃCZÓW MUNICIPALITY

Development of assumptions for the implementation of the project of integrated management of the Pińczów Reservoir along with the definition of proposed activities for the protection of freshwater mussels living in the reservoir – Pińczów Municipality

The development of the report, which is also a proposal of actions for the rational management of the Pińczów reservoir in order to improve and maintain the water condition and the reservoir water environment, was carried out on the initiative of the mayor of the city of Pińczów, in connection with the challenges arising from the desire to maintain recreational and natural functions, especially in the context of freshwater mussels living in the reservoir. The report was prepared based on the data collected in the field, the information provided verbally, and materials from the Regional Directorate for Environmental Protection in Kielce, regarding the mass death of freshwater mussels in the Pińczów Reservoir in 2018. Field studies were carried out to identify hotpoints that may indicate the causes of the extinction of mussels from the Unionidae family. Based on the analyses, it was proposed to conduct a series of studies aimed at creating a reservoir management plan.
