Stan i perspektywy gospodarki wodnej w dorzeczu Luciąży
Streszczenie
The author presents the present situation and the most urgent
tasks concerning the water economy in the area of the river
basin (760 km ) threatened with water deficit, the western part
of which will be soon encompassed by a depression funnel of
Bełchatów lignite mine.
The Luciąża river, left tributary of the Pilica river flows
into the Sulejów reservoir. The average flow of the river at its
mouth reaches 4,7 ms per second.
The river water in the Luciąża basin is mainly used for agricultural
purposes, and, first of all, for irrigation of ameliorated
grassland (ca. 2,000 hectares), and for supplying fish
ponds with water (ca. 150 hectares). Water requirements of the
population and the industry are supplied by the underground water
with about 70 per cent of all farms using shallow topsoil and alluvial waters. Water supply systems in rural, areas are
few and far between.
The most important tasks facing the water economy in the Luciąża
river basin include:
- improvement of purity of the Luciąża river and its main
tributaries so that they do not impair the sanitary level of
the Sulejów reservoir;
- ample provision of water for agriculture and forestry, first
of all for the area which is directly affected by the Bełchatów
lignite mine through construction of central water supply
systems based on deep intakes of the underground water and
transfer of water from other river basins (the Pilica and the
Widawka rivers) as well as storage of it in agricultural storage
reservoirs. Bigger reservoirs should be built on the upper
course of the Luciąża and the Bogdanówka. Water deficit in the
Luciąźa river basin for 1985 is estimated at ca. 40-50 million
cubic metres.
