The report from the public consultations on the DECP project together with the status of consideration of proposals and comments is published on the following website:
The national Stop Drought! conference planned for the autumn will constitute the summary of the DECP preparation. Works will formally culminate in the adoption of the DECP project by way of a regulation of the Minister of Water Management, planned for the end of 2020. The DECP is, together with water management plans and flood risk management plans, a strategic planning document for the water management in Poland.
