Key Water Issues and Challenges
- Frequent flooding
- Regional differences in available water resources; scarcity in some regions, flooding in others
- Water pollution from industrial and municipal sources
- Air pollution remains serious because of sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants, and the resulting acid rain has caused forest damage
- Historically, Poland is an area of conflict because of flat terrain and absence of natural barriers on the North European Plain
