MAIN CHALLENGES
Project goals
Building the capacity to implement the remedial measures indicated in the Vistula River Basin Water Management Plan within the Pilica river basin is the main challenge facing the LIFE Pilica integrated project. The assumed end result is the improvement of the quality and biodiversity of surface waters, with particular emphasis on the Sulejów Water Reservoir.
The project entitled: "Implementation of River Basin Management Plan in the Vistula basin on the example of Pilica river catchment" with the acronym IP LIFE PL Pilica Basin CTRL (abbreviated: LIFE Pilica) received funding from the European Commission under the LIFE program for the environment and climate, and thus thus joined the group of LIFE water integrated projects implemented in the European Union countries.

AREAS OF ACTIVITY
What actions do we implement as part of the LIFE Pilica project?
- Management of water resources in the Pilica catchment
- Reduction of communal pressure in the Pilica catchment
- Adaptation of cities to climate change
- Reduction of agricultural pressure in the Pilica catchment area
- Restoring patency of watercourses, recreating oxbow lakes and wetlands
- Building potential for support implementation
- Monitoring the impact of the project on the environment and development
- Project management, promotion and dissemination of results
Our Actions:
1) 22 training sessions were conducted for agricultural advisors in the field of rational fertilizer management in the context of water protection. A total of 676 agricultural advisors from the areas of 11 voivodships were trained - actions completed.
2) 22 workshops for farmers on fertilizer management in the context of the provisions of the Nitrate Program were conducted in 11 voivodeships of the Vistula catchment area. In total, 676 farmers were trained - actions completed.
3) Organization of information and education campaigns on rational fertilizer management in the context of water protection addressed to farmers. Activities are carried out in the form of information points during family festivities on the occasion of commune festivals, harvest festivals, and agricultural fairs. The action was foreseen throughout the project.
4) Development of multimedia educational materials dedicated to students of agricultural schools in five thematic areas:
• The importance of dispersing nitrogen and phosphorus compounds of agricultural origin for the natural environment and human health:
• Nature-based solutions as tools to reduce agricultural pollution to surface and groundwater
• Nature-based solutions as tools to reduce agricultural pollution to surface and groundwater
• The role of agricultural technology in improving water management in plant production
• Biodiversity in the agricultural landscape
For each of the above issues, a course was developed containing texts discussing the topic, an educational film, 2 animations, educational games, exercises and homework, a dictionary, a test:
5) Conducting a knowledge competition for students of agricultural schools entitled "Preservation of biodiversity and water protection in agricultural landscape" - March - April 2023.
6) Organization of training for 50 teachers entitled "Preservation of biodiversity and water protection in agricultural landscape", during which we will present multimedia educational materials developed as part of the project.
7) Organizing a two-day workshop for 110 students entitled "Preservation of biodiversity and water protection in agricultural landscape" - September 2023.
8) One-day workshops for students of agricultural schools repeated cyclically and independently by schools participating in the project:
• Local Water Monitoring Systems
• Workshops on creating fertilization plans
9) Trips of 275 farmers to demonstration farms.
