Summary:

Poland is considered to have scarce water resources and to be one of the few countries in Europe which are in danger of a water deficit. Surface water resources in the Lubelskie Province are significantly lower than the country's average and are among the lowest in Poland. This calls for sustainable and sparing water-resources management, combined witch particularly intensive protection of their quality and quantity. The most successful and effective way of forming water resources is surface-water retention aimed at mitigating the water deficit, especially in periods of drought. Catering for the continuously-growing food demand is a primary objective for agriculture in Poland and in the Lubelskie Province (good types of soil). The drainage infrastructure and hydro-engineering buildings are the key factors in increasing the efficiency of production.
It allows the sustainable use of water circulation in an environment shaped by man for agricultural purposes. The article includes the condition, selected examples of, and the requirements for, the hydro-engineering buildings to be used in drainage systems for sustainable water management in agriculture.
