Management of Water Resources in Poland

Part of the book series: Springer Water ((SPWA))

Abstract

Total water resources of lakes in Poland for 7081 lakes (above 1 ha) equal 19.7349 km3 (Masurian Lake District – 51.27%, Pomeranian Lake District – 36.12%), Wielkopolska-Kujawy Lake District – 11.93%, and area south of the delineated range of the last glaciation – 0.68%). Retention for the area north of the line delimiting the maximum range of the last glaciation is 162 mm. It constitutes only 10% of mean annual precipitation, and the value is approximately 3.5 times smaller than the amount of mean outflow from the territory of Poland.
