Abstract
Abstract A multitude of spatial relations between the lake and its catchment prompts both water managers and scientists to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The paper presents the possibility of using GIS systems in the monitoring and management of Polish lakes, taking advantage of the dynamic development of geoinformatics. The focus is on the possibility of using GIS systems when creating documents necessary for the implementation of subsequent water management plans, as required by the Water Framework Directive. This review presents the currently existing spatial databases of Polish lakes and discusses the impact of the use of morphometric data of lakes on the process of water monitoring. Attention was paid to the problem of delimiting the catchment areas of lakes and the legal consequences of determining their boundaries. Tools used in the interpolation of limnological parameters and the models most often used in GIS software for water quality prediction are discussed.
期刊介绍：
The journal ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND NATURAL RESOURCES is a publication which addresses the issues of broadly understood environmental protection and publishes research and review papers. All these articles and papers are peer-reviewed. Interdisciplinary studies published by specialists in various fields present reciprocal relationships between the reactions taking place in the environment which are connected with natural element cycle and at the same time reflect both natural processes and human impacts. Themes of the works also concern socio-economic and technical issues at the UE, national, regional and local levels in the context of sustainable development. The main aim of the journal is to promote high level research in all aspects of environment and natural resources protection.
