Scientists decided to analyse the variability of water quality parameters in the Vistula over almost 1000 km of its course, while social activists promoted physical activity and a healthy lifestyle. One goal was closely related to the other, because the Vistula has great recreational potential If the water quality and infrastructure are properly taken care of, the river may soon become more accessible to tourists. . And there is plenty to admire, as the participants of the unique expedition found out.<\/p>\n
