  • Impact of the Artificial Strait in the Vistula Spit on the Hydrodynamics of the Vistula Lagoon (Baltic Sea)

    Publication

    In the Vistula Lagoon, storm surges are induced by variable sea levels in the Gulf of Gdańsk and wind action. The rising of the water level in the southern part of the basin, exceeding 1.0 m above mean sea level, can be dangerous for the lowland area of Żuławy Elbląskie, causing the inundation of the polders adjacent to the lagoon. One of the potential possibilities to limit the flood risk is to decrease the water level in the...

  • Hydropower potential of the lower Vistula

    This paper presents an estimate analysis of the hydropower potential of the lower Vistula River from Warsaw to Gdańsk Bay. The calculations were made for a hydraulic model of the lower Vistula which takes into account potential development of barrages in a cascade system. Results obtained from the model simulations and from hydrological calculations were used to estimate the power of hydropower plants and the average annual energy...

  • Social activities in The Vistula Marshlands

    Publication

    - Year 2011

    Social activities in The Vistula Marshlands favouring development in this part of the Pomeranian Voivodeship and preserving its specific character have recently been a domain of Local Activity Groups, clubs and societies, as well as cultural centres and local schools. The activation of local environment is supported by the possibility of gaining EU grants, particularly 4 LEADER Axis from the Rural Development Programme for years...

  • Impact of new, navigable canal through the Vistula spit on the hydrologic balance of the Vistula lagoon (Baltic Sea)

    Publication

    The object of research - the Vistula Lagoon is one of the two lagoons on the Polish coast, which is of great importance not only from an economic point of view, but also an environmental one. The purpose of the paper is to provide calculations on the current water balance for the Vistula Lagoon, before and after construction of a canal through the Vistula Spit. This is important because the construction of a new connection between...

  • SUBSOIL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VISTULA RIVER DIKES

    Publication

    The results of CPTU tests are used to determine the strength parameters of a dike subsoil. Stress state and stress history of the subsoil under the flood embankment was evaluated with CPTU and DMT tests. Normally consolidated soil was found under the central part of the dike, while the subsoil near the dike toe is found to be overconsolidated. Due to consolidation the undrained shear strength of the subsoil under the central part...

  • Hydraulic potential of the Lower Vistula (Poland)

    The Vistula is the largest river in Poland. Lower Vistula (part of the river discussed in this paper) is almost four hundred kilometers long river section extending from the tributary Narew to the outflow to the Baltic Sea. In the 17th century the Vistula was the most navigable river in Europe. After partitioning of Poland the Vistula lost its significance. Now the Lower Vistula should provide a navigation connection to the Europe...

  • Modeling of Ice Phenomena in the Mouth of the Vistula River

    Publication

    The mouth of the Vistula River, which is a river outlet located in tideless area, is analyzed. The Vistula River mouth is a man-made, artificial channel which was built in the 19th century in order to prevent the formation of ice jams in the natural river delta. Since the artificial river outlet was constructed, no severe ice-related flood risk situations have ever occurred. However, periodic ice-related phenomena still have an impact...

  • Landscape of the Vistula Estuary - searching for traces of ingenium embodied

    Publication

    - Year 2005

    Artykuł podaje skrótowe informacje o dawnym i współczesnym znaczeniu obiektów inżynieryjnych w krajobrazie delty Wisły, które znalazły się na trasie objazdu konserwatorskiego w dniu 5 maja w ramach realizacji programu konferencji HOT-GO 4 wraz z kalendarium ich dziejów: Most Lisewski przez Wisłę w Tczewie, wielki przekop Wisły w Świbnie, śluzy w Przegalinie, Gdańskiej Głowie i Białej Górze, relikty kanału w Piekle.

  • DETERMINANTS OF INLAND NAVIGATION ON THE VISTULA FROM WARSAW TO GDAŃSK

    Publication

    Waterborne transport is the cheapest, the safest and the least harmful to the natural environment. Restoring regular waterway cargo transport will require revitalisation of the existing trans-shipment and logistics infrastructure for commercial inland ports and building new. Transport policy makers must remember that waterborne transport is the most ecological type of transport. It produces only 10% of the gases emitted to the...

  • Hydrodynamic Model of the New Waterway through the Vistula Spit

    The decision to build a new waterway (strait) in the Polish part of the Vistula Spit was made in 2017. The new connection between the Gulf of Gdańsk and the Vistula Lagoon is planned as an artificial navigable channel with a lock and a small port. During storm surges and wind tides in the gulf or in the lagoon, sluicing will be re-quired for vessels to tackle the Vistula Spit. This procedure does not require significant water flow...
