| description | This article deals with the difficulties that arise at the intersection of three areas: the application of law, the need to ensure water environment sustainability, and the need to take into account social interest. The reason behind such a situation is the imprecise lake classification criteria adopted in Polish law. The legal division of lakes has an artificial character and reflects the Polish water management policy, according to which every lake is classified as stagnant or flowing water. This study aims to determine the hydrological type of Lake Wysokie and its legal status, in order to allow proper application of water policy. The methodology included, among others: field hydrological investigations, geodetic measurements, calculation of evaporation and study of historical cartographic documentation. According to the research results, all the features of the lake and its catchment area clearly indicate the standing nature of the waters. |
