Groundwater Bodies in the years 2022-2027 (GWB)

Division of Poland into 174 water bodies valid in 2022-2027

During the second planning cycle, the state hydrogeological service verified the boundaries of the JCWPd, implementing new criteria for divisions and taking into account the Map of Poland's hydrographic division (MPHP). As a result of these works, a new division of Poland into JCWPd was created - 174 parts.

According to the definition given in the Water Framework Directive, groundwater bodies include those groundwater that occur in aquifers with porosity and permeability, enabling a significant uptake in water supply to the population or a flow of significant intensity for shaping the desired state of surface waters and terrestrial ecosystems.
