On the 2-5 June 2019, 80 stream specialists from environmental departments of Danish municipalities took part in technical trip “Waterbodies in Poland - Study tour for Danish water stream specialists” to Poland. The trip was organized by Envina (Danish non-profit organization for public planning-, environmental, - and nature specialists). The goal of the trip was to exchange knowledge, experiences an know-how on river restoration, maintenance and monitoring, implementation of Water Framework Directive in Poland, climate adaption measures using water resources, and others.

As part of the visit, dr Iwona Wagner presented a talk on innovative urban water management projects developed and implemented in Poland, including LIFE EH-REK (Ecohydrological rehabilitation of recreational reservoirs “Arturówek” (Łódź) as a model approach to rehabilitation of urban reservoirs; LIFE PLUS, LIFE08 ENV/PL/000517) and LIFE-RADOMKLIMA-PL (Adaptation to climate change through sustainable management of water of the urban area in Radom City; LIFE14 CCA/PL/000101).

The guests have got acquainted with the climatic challenges in Poland, and the goals and objectives of the LIFE RadomKlima Project by the manager of the Project, Ms Katarzyna Jankowska. It is the first project in Poland, which in a systematic and comprehensive manner plans and implements climate adaptation measures.

The guests took part in a technical trip, and visited two locations of adaptation actions: the Borki Reservoir, where Mr Michał Zdybiewski from Municipal Waterworks in Radom presented the goals and advancement of implementation of the project; and Green Bus-Stop retaining stormwater, where Mr Lars Briggs and Mrs Iwona Wagner from FPP Enviro presented the performance of this small-scale BGI which since its implementation, in September 2018, has been demonstrating the new approach to inner city water in Radom.

The investment works on the colmatation ponds at the Borki reservoir have started. The several hundred metres long section of the Mleczna riverbed will also be restored.

On 22 March – World Water Day the fourth application round for Art Competition called „Effects of climate change” has been completed. The competetion was directed to Radom public primary and secondary schools students and referred to with the theme of water and climate change. This year there was a record number of 136 art works. Every year the main objective of the competition is to raise awareness and knowledge of the Radom young people on climate change, including becoming familiar with the project on "Adapting to climate change through sustainable management of water in the urban space Radom" co-financed by the LIFE programme and the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management in Warsaw. We hope that such a significant increase of interest in this year's competition also means increased interest in matters of climate and the adaptation project implemented in Radom. Within a month after verification of all works in terms of the eligibility and compliance with the contest rules, the jury will select the winners in two categories. The winners will be informed and invited on the rewarding ceremony via their schools. This traditionally takes place at the beginning of June.
