Poland, due to its geographical location and unfavourable hydrological conditions resulting from it, has small water resources. We are in penultimate place in Europe and belong to the group of the countries threatened by water deficit. In recent years this problem has been growing.
In order to cope with the effects of climate change and to enhance and maintain water resources for population, economy and environment, it is necessary to solve the problem of water retention.
The Programme for counteracting water deficit will be the first strategic document comprehensively covering possible activities in the field of water retention development. The programme is an important element of counteracting the effects of drought.
