00:00 It is an important event.
00:02 These are the investments that are to guarantee the safety of the residents of the Klocki town.
00:12 We declared, we found funding, we brought it to the final.
00:18 It is also necessary to think about further investments,
00:23 but all, as we also repeat, will be in agreement with the residents.
00:33 Also the investments that will be planned, I am talking here about the power plant,
00:39 in Młoty, I think that the next few days will bring the final decisions
00:45 and billions will flow to the town of Klocki.
00:49 So safety, investments and agreement with the residents.
00:57 Anyway, it must be said that this is a beautiful object,
01:01 which fits into the landscape, in addition to the very responsible treatment of the environment.
01:09 The first thing, the task of the state, the first completely basic thing is to ensure safety,
01:14 both external and internal, and the anti-flood protection is such an element.
01:20 The second thing that is worth mentioning is that all such large cubic buildings,
01:26 this is a building for more than 200 million zlotys,
01:31 in the first phase it causes a certain social unrest,
01:34 because on the one hand it protects people, but on the other hand,
01:37 the people living here have some kind of anxiety that it will change their current life,
01:43 and we see that this is a beautifully fit object into the landscape, beautiful,
01:51 and also useful.
01:53 And the third element is that determination is needed to carry out such difficult projects,
01:57 expensive processes, and here I can always count on the good cooperation with the RZGW,
02:04 but also with local politicians, including Mr. Senator Szwed.
02:09 Four have been built, there should be another 20. Is it worth continuing this project?
02:15 I think it's a matter of safety, definitely.
02:21 I remember the flood in Wrocław in 1997, in 2010,
02:26 and just when we faced the first phase of COVID, in June 2020,
02:32 we had exactly the same parameters for odors and weather as 10 years earlier.
02:44 And I admit that at that time my skin was itching,
02:47 but it turned out that investments made by the government,
02:51 plus very efficient management by the RZGW,
02:54 carried this water safely through Wrocław.
02:57 So that's the difference. In 2010, there were losses in Wrocław,
03:02 in 2020, almost the same water,
03:05 actually, it was overlooked,
03:07 I mean, people were going to see that the water would flow faster through Wrocław, and that's it.
03:11 So this is very important to me,
03:13 and here in Kytlin Kłodzka, the flood is different than in Wrocław.
03:16 It's not a slow one, we don't know two days before there will be a flood,
03:20 it's just a sudden hit and huge losses.
03:23 Here we also have people who died in 1997 in Kytlin Kłodzka as a result of the flood.
03:30 I will go a little further when it comes to this investment.
03:34 There are some funny statements here,
03:37 that this reservoir should be flooded in the future.
03:40 And it's generally about tourism, that it should be accessible to tourists.
03:45 I would say this, you can talk about it, but you have to set priorities.
03:50 The first priority is flood protection,
03:53 and this is the most important thing.
03:56 If there are such possibilities,
03:58 that is, if there is a supplement and the buffers we create will be greater,
04:02 I do not rule it out, but experts have to speak.
04:07 But the first thing is, there should be flood safety.
04:10 Was it hard to build such a reservoir?
04:13 It was a big challenge, really,
04:15 considering that this is a project worth at least PLN 200 million.
04:20 Therefore, although its implementation took 5 years,
04:23 there was really a lot to do.
04:25 In fact, just look, I say,
04:27 to build this reservoir, a million tons of material were brought.
04:31 So it gives an image of the scale of this project.
04:34 What we had to take care of was, above all, the good of people.
04:37 Because to build this reservoir, several families had to be evacuated.
04:43 And this, of course, was not our role, but the role of the orderer.
04:47 But for a long time we had a family here in our construction site,
04:51 which supported the water,
04:54 taking into account the conditions proposed.
04:57 However, it did not bother us, it was different.
05:00 We did our job and tried to ensure that both the residents and the construction site were satisfied.
05:07 I will ask you about the non-stall.
05:09 Yes, non-stall.
05:11 We had to, I mean, we had to.
05:13 In fact, it is a settlement of non-stallers.
05:16 Therefore, in order to ensure the well-being of nature, not only non-stallers, but also other species,
05:20 two towers were built.
05:22 They have a light character, it is different.
05:24 So that you are also aware.
05:26 It's not about building them for non-stallers,
05:28 but also in order to keep these environmental standards.
05:31 And not to worsen what has been so far, from the point of view of the well-being of plants and animals,
05:35 chambers were built there in these lighthouses for non-stallers and these are their settlements.
05:39 How does this well work? In a simple technical language.
05:42 In a simple language, from the water side, i.e. behind this dam, a river flows,
05:46 which at times of heavy rainfall,
05:50 and I will remind you that in 1997, over 3 meters of water fell in three days,
05:55 because that's what the water indicators indicate,
05:57 there are rapid floods.
05:59 And the point is to retain this water, to stop it before it floods and destroys the town.
06:03 Therefore, water accumulates there,
06:05 which is then released here freely,
06:09 sorry, freely with this drain and it in its chamber.
06:12 However, what you see behind my back,
06:14 this is the so-called drain device.
06:16 So when the tank is filled beyond the limit of its durability, let's call it,
06:20 this is such a drain, which is such a safety valve,
06:23 and then the water flows this way to its current, which it runs to this time.
06:28 And starting with the simplest things, maybe.
06:32 The cost of the tank in Oboszów is almost PLN 240 million.
06:36 Of course, the situation related to the COVID pandemic
06:42 and the conflict in Ukraine, the aggression of the Russian Federation,
06:48 had a huge impact on this, because it had an impact on the valorization indicators,
06:53 because we signed the contract in 2017,
06:56 we started working in 2018,
06:59 and we never dreamed of signing a contract for a hundred and several million,
07:04 that we would reach such a large amount.
07:07 But the procedures that have been implemented,
07:10 which we see after the pandemic or after this conflict,
07:14 which are introduced on other infrastructure investments,
07:19 that is, valorization, which was here from the very beginning,
07:22 in the contract, guaranteed by the contractor,
07:25 which brought costs for the investor in the region of PLN 60 million,
07:32 which caused the cost of the entire construction of the tank to increase significantly.
07:38 If we talk about active protection, as Mr. Editor mentioned,
07:43 in 2021 we put the Bysczycki Rostock tank, which is below, into use.
07:51 Today, in 2023, in the middle of the year, we obtained permission to use the tank in Boboszów.
07:58 In front of us is the Krosnowice tank, which also has permission to use it,
08:02 and it can be taken over.
08:05 The largest object of the chalets, almost 10 million cubic meters of water to be stored,
08:11 in Bysczyce, closest to Łódź.
08:14 All four of these investments are aimed at reducing the wave,
08:19 because this is the most important thing at this point,
08:21 that we reduce the wave that arises during sudden ebbs and flows,
08:26 large drops, that we relieve the system, which is a drought,
08:32 but the system of rivers, including the largest Nysa and the heart of the region,
08:39 that is, the city of Klocka.
08:40 Today, the opening of large retention, but in your state forests,
08:44 small retention is also being carried out.
08:46 Exactly, before this large retention in the forest, there is one problem to neutralize,
08:52 that is, small retention, large investments that are planned,
08:57 which will also accompany this object,
09:00 because of course this flood wave will be broken, and the water will be stopped in the forests.
09:05 About 13 million cubic meters in the Międzylesie,
09:08 next year, together with the Center for Environmental Project Coordination,
09:12 we are signing a contract, actually in 2024,
09:16 and we are starting a large small retention program by 2030.
09:21 13 million is a huge amount.
09:23 I think a lot, I think a lot, of course, the needs are much greater.
09:26 It would be good if it were 2 times 13, but I think we should start with something.
09:30 We already have small retention in the Międzylesie.
09:33 We have the first stage of retention, very strongly expanded,
09:36 which is already functioning at the moment, stopping this water in the forest,
09:39 also, I would say, to a minimum, but it is flattening this flood wave,
09:42 because of course it limits the flow of this water,
09:45 rapid flow of rainwater to the streams,
09:48 and streams, of course, to such reservoirs as this one.
09:51 But it is also worth adding one thing,
09:53 Christmas is common to us, as friends.
09:55 Okay, how much can you save,
09:57 how much can you stop this water in millions of liters during small retention,
10:02 in the small retention project?
10:04 In our project, in the 10-year project, for example,
10:09 there is a stop of several million square meters.
10:12 We are mainly talking about infrastructure projects,
10:15 i.e. what has been done anthropogenically,
10:17 access roads, of course, because the forest also needs to be managed
10:20 to function, so that the forest farm could function.
10:23 And these elements, then now introducing this small retention
10:27 will cause us to stop the water,
10:29 that it will not flow down with road ditches,
10:31 it will not flow down with hardened surfaces,
10:34 it will only be left in the forest,
10:36 it will be directed to the forests,
10:38 but it will be stopped so that it does not flow into the streams
10:41 and quickly does not flow into the water streams
10:43 during these intense floods,
10:45 and will not create this flood wave.
10:47 So that the district does not find itself in such an object,
10:50 so that as little water as possible is in this object,
10:52 but these are such actions at the source,
10:54 i.e. the actions of state forests.
10:56 I think it would be good if the municipalities also started a similar program,
10:59 because I think that on the scale of this Odra to Rzeczy Nysy Kłodzkie,
11:03 I think it would be really fantastic
11:05 if we started a comprehensive state forests plus,
11:08 self-government and of course Polish waters.
11:11 If we connect these vessels,
11:14 we will connect this system, the effect will be brick,
11:16 but not only for flood protection,
11:18 but also for the environmental.
11:20 But the municipalities also have forests
11:22 and can carry out such projects in the same way?
11:24 Not only in the forests, we are talking about the entire municipal infrastructure,
11:27 we are talking about roads, soils, waterways,
11:30 which are in the municipalities,
11:32 which can be managed and also reduce the flow of rainwater.
11:37 Stopping, thus eliminating the effects of drought
11:41 and limiting flood risk.
11:45 So two in one.
11:46 Mr. Mayor, the opening of the second tank today
11:48 in the scope of the 2A task of active flood protection
11:53 of Kłodzkie Kotlina.
11:54 Will this tank really help in this protection?
11:57 1,400,000 cubic meters of water less in the forest.
12:01 This is probably measurable.
12:04 And therefore, it will certainly not replace,
12:07 how to say it, nature.
12:10 Because nature always wins with man.
12:12 A man who thinks he is beating nature is wrong.
12:15 But we will definitely help nature
12:18 in such a way that we will be safer.
12:21 We will never be safe completely,
12:23 but the tank gives us this guarantee
12:26 that for some time we can prepare for flood,
12:29 and with lower floors it will save us.
12:32 Well, how many such tanks would we need according to you?
12:36 Mr. Przemysław Daca, the previous director,
12:38 president of the Polish Water Board, said that about 20 more.
12:41 I mean, I don't think it will be enough.
12:44 I am not a hydrologist, I cannot speak.
12:47 I am a mayor of the Międzylesie municipality
12:49 and I believe that the tank in Woboszów and the tank in Rostock
12:53 is moderately weakening the flood wave in our area.
12:57 As a landowner, are you happy about it?
13:00 I am happy because it is really nice,
13:02 beautifully composed environment.
13:05 It is already a tourist attraction.
13:07 I hope that the Polish waters will not close
13:10 and that it will be possible to use it in various ways,
13:14 on roller skates, on bicycles, for a walk.
13:17 I hope that people who come here will find beauty and peace,
13:21 and at the same time they will be able to admire the art of Polish hands,
13:25 because it is a tank built by a Polish company.
13:28 Is there a chance to flood it?
13:30 There is a chance to flood this tank.
13:33 The president of the Polish Water Board himself
13:35 applauded me when I said that,
13:37 but it has to last.
13:39 At least preparing the documentation takes a few years,
13:42 five years is a period of persistence,
13:44 but I believe that one day this tank will perform three functions -
13:47 counter-flood, maintenance and tourism.
13:50 and touristic.
