Aim of the study: i. Comparison of characteristic discharges (mean and mean of annual minimum, i.e. mean low discharge) of small lowland river between two periods (1963-1990 and 1991-2020) estimated on the base of field measurements. ii. Comparison of specific discharges of two small catchments of various size in the period 1991-2020. iii. Evaluation of local indirect methods for estimation of mean and mean low discharge applied for the two small catchments. Material and methods: Since 1962, hydrological investigations have been conducted in a small lowland catchment of the Zagożdżonka River. The catchment area is characterized by agro-forested land use, and is located in the south part of the Masovia region, Poland. Continued monitoring of water stages and discharge measurement at the river gauge Płachty Stare were conducted for estimating daily and characteristic discharges for two periods: 1963-1990 and 1991-2020. Other methods were also used for both of the hydrological characteristics. They were based on maps of specific discharges from the Hydrological Atlas of Poland. Results and conclusions: Mean discharge of the Zagożdżonka River at the gauge Płachty Stare between the two periods decreased by 24%. Mean low flow decreased by 43%. Higher evapotranspiration, caused by climate change, i.e. temperature increase and higher ratio of forested area in the catchment, is indicated as the main reason of the changes. Mean specific discharge from the smaller catchment (at Wygoda gauge) was 36% less than from the larger catchment. The application of the indirect methods for estimation of mean and mean low discharges for the larger catchment seems to give satisfactory results.

Aim of the study: Droughts are one of the more costly natural hazards on a year-to-year basis. Their impacts are significant and widespread, affecting many economic sectors and people at any one time (WMO & GWP, 2016). In our paper we will focus on the comparison of meteorological drought (precipitation) and agricultural drought (available soil water) in the Nitra River basin, Slovakia. Material and methods: Data from the Nitra River Basin were provided from the meteorological stations (Svinná, Bystričany, Solčany, Veľké Ripňany, Jelenec and Pribeta ) of the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra. The meteorological drought is defined as a period with no precipitation (Petrovič, 1960). Agricultural drought was determined as the value below the amount of water storage in the soil profile (0.20 m) accessible to plants. Results and conclusions: We focused on the comparison of meteorological drought and the number of days with both type of drought is from year 2014 increasing. The worst year was 2018 in every meteorological station, when the agricultural drought was with short interruptions from sprig to winter. This trend can also be seen in the countries neighbouring Slovakia - Poland, Hungary or Czech Republic.

Aim of the study: The goal of this study was to apply SWAT+ tools to estimate the water shortage in the Smugawka catchment. Material and methods: The use of the area was documented in the form of an orthophotomap with GIS layers superimposed, which was provided by CORINE Land Cover 2018. A soil and agricultural map, supplemented with lithological content from a detailed geological map, was used as the input layer for QGIS ver. 3.16. In the next stage, multiannual meteorological data (1991–2020) were added to the SWAT+ model, which included: minimum and maximum daily air temperature, daily rainfall, average daily radiation and average daily wind speed. Full integration of the SWAT+ model with QGIS facilitates the procedure of iterative generation and modification of the model input parameters. The calculation of continuous simulations for average long periods of time is presented in the manuscript. Results and conclusions: The application of GIS-based approaches and modeling techniques are crucial in the quest for optimal methods for calculating the water balance today. Our findings also contribute to a better understanding of the hydrological processes at work in the flysch catchment.

Aim of the study: Groundwater quality monitoring tests in the area of pollution sources are one of the elements of the assessment of groundwater vulnerability. The aim of the article is to indicate a good index for the assessment of water quality and the selection of an appropriate value of the hydrochemical background. Material and methods: The quality of groundwater in the region of the municipal landfills in Dabrowa Gornicza (southern Poland) was assessed in the context of the content of ammonium, chlorides, sulphates, iron and electric conductivity values . The level of the contamination of groundwater was determined on the basis of the monitoring data from 2016-2020. The research used the Landfill Water Pollution Index (LWPI) and the Nemerow index (NI). In order to determine the reliability of the methods used, three different values of the hydrochemical background were taken into account. Results and conclusions: The results of the analyses show that the values of the Nemerow index are definitely higher than the LWPI index. Additionally, the highest values of the indicators were obtained when comparing the obtained results to the hydrochemical background from the 1980s. The maximum values of the indicators were approx. 156 (LWPI) and approx. 721 (NI) for the PZ4 piezometer located east of the landfills. The differentiated results of the index values depending on the selection of the background value and the assignment of individual weights indicate that for such a transformed area it is difficult to indicate the value of the hydrochemical background for which the index values would be representative.

Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to evaluate changes in the concentration of selected ions in the waters of the Słupsko dam reservoir and to determine its role as a "primary sedimentation tank" for the Pławniowice reservoir. Material and methods: Determination of the factors causing these changes was made on the basis of measuring a number of physical and chemical parameters between March 2019 and February 2020. The research was carried out in terms of checking the potential of unfavorable phenomena for surface water and checking whether the Słupsko reservoir fulfills the assumed role, i.e. the function of the "initial settler" for the Pławniowice Reservoir. Results and conclusions: The Słupsko reservoir contributes only to a small extent to the equalization of the analyzed ions' concentrations . It is difficult to explain the lack of a clear relationship between sodium ion concentrations and conductivity. High concentrations of orthophosphate ions in the summer may suggest that the reservoir's canopy is enriched with this element internally in the summer. High concentrations of orthophosphates at the inflow to the reservoir may indicate the inflow of insufficiently treated municipal sewage or runoff from agricultural areas. The Słupsko reservoir plays only a marginal role as a "preliminary sedimentation tank" for the Pławniowice reservoir. The short time of water retention does not allow the removal of nutrients from it. Currently, the Słupsko reservoir is a potential source of nutrients for the Pławniowice reservoir. Therefore, it seems necessary to constantly monitor the quality of water in the reservoir.

Aim of the study The aim of the study was to find out the opinion on the availability and needs as well as the profile of community garden users during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-2021. Material and methods The article uses survey research methods. A questionnaire was prepared, which contained 19 questions and was made available online to the inhabitants of Krakow via social media, mainly on various thematic groups related to landscape architecture and urban gardening. On the basis of scientific studies, changes related to the interest and use of community gardens were analyzed. Results and conclusions As shown by the survey, the inhabitants of Krakow want to use community gardens and would like new gardens to be created in their immediate vicinity. The inhabitants are the main initiators of the creation of community gardens, but due to insufficient promotion, they largely do not know how to start such an initiative in their neighborhood. By referring to the results of the conducted research and comparing the situation of Polish urban farms to the cited examples from the world, one can confirm the great potential of undeveloped spaces and the development of urban agriculture in Poland. In addition, drawing conclusions from the examples described, you can see a large number of possible social, economic and revitalization functions, which may also appear in Polish reality over time. As shown by the survey, over 80% of respondents express the opinion that community gardens are needed and should be set up in newly emerging housing estates.

Aim of the Study. Heavy doses of synthetic weed control chemicals have caused herbicide resistance in weeds. Natural com pounds produced by living organisms constitute a wide field for ecologically safe herbicides. The experiments were designed to test allelopathic potential of hexane extracts of selected plants against common weeds in agriculture viz. Euphorbia helioscopia, Rumex dentatus, Phalaris minor, Avena fatua and Chenopodium album. Materials and methods. Allelopathic potential of Carica papaya, Rhazya stricta, Lantana camara and Pinus roxburghii hexane extracts against weeds was determined at 100%, 75% and 50% concentration on soil, filter paper and agar. Parameters adopted for assessing allelopathic potential were the germination (%) and the length of seedling (cm). Data analysis was performed using the Statistica 9 software. Results and Conclusion. The results indicated that R. stricta, C. papaya, L. camara and P. roxburghii hexane extracts possesses suppression effects against weeds among which L. camara had the most conspicuous inhibition effects on selected weeds. The inhibitory effects of germination and seedling growth were in order R. stricta > L. camara > C. papaya > P. roxburghii. Field analysis to assess the phytotoxic ability of these species to be used as herbicide is recommended.

Aim of the study. Landfilling is an activity, which may threaten the destruction or contamination of the soil and water environment. Pollution can be generated both by leachate and by landfill gas. Legal conditions impose on landfill managers to monitor groundwater around the landfills. The impacted soils and groundwater show high chlorides, sulphates, heavy metal concentrations especially as compared to natural hydrochemical background values. Monitoring results can be analyzed using pollution indicators. The objective of this study was to determine the quality of groundwater in a landfill in Wojkowice (southern Poland) using the Backman index. Material and methods. The novelty of the paper results from the use of a different range of parameters than initially included in the formula. The results of water quality monitoring for three piezometers from 2013–2020 were considered. The contamination index was calculated separately for each of the analysed water samples, taking into account the electrolytic conductivity and the concentration of total organic carbon (TOC), Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr and the sum of N-NO3, N-NO2 and N-NH4. Results and conclusions. The Backman index values range in the groundwater samples were –5.3 to 603. The value of the Backman index increases with the increase in the concentration of individual parameters in groundwater. In the case of heavily transformed areas, the water pollution index has high values, exceeding 3. The results of this index indicated that the quality of the groundwater around the landfill is bad. In the future, it is planned to expand the range of parameters for calculating the index.
