According to the calculations by experts in hydraulic structures you need to invest in the basin of the Upper Vistula 2.1 billion zł. You have to build, among others, eight polders, dry reservoirs 73, modernize 63.8 km of embankments and to build 97.5 kilometers of new main rivers and 218.9 km on smaller tributaries.

will schedule

Raise requires 87 bridges, and the analysis indicated a need to increase reserves the flood of 278.3 million m3, for construction of polders, dry reservoirs and increase in the provision flood on three existing vessels (Tresna, Dobczyce, Roznow) of 60.7 million cubic meters. In the coming weeks it is expected to create a schedule that investments must be made in subsequent years from 2016 until 2021.

Coordinate the execution of those tasks that were performed during an extinction program. – The analysis we know exactly what needs to be done on individual sections of rivers and how much it will cost – said Miller.

The investments will be realized in the implementation of the “Plan of flood risk management,” which requires the prior adoption by the Council of Ministers.
