摘要：The Vistula is the largest river in Poland. Lower Vistula (part of
the river discussed in this paper) is almost four hundred kilometers long river
section extending from the tributary Narew to the outflow to the Baltic Sea.
In the 17th century the Vistula was the most navigable river in Europe. After
partitioning of Poland the Vistula lost its significance. Now the Lower
Vistula should provide a navigation connection to the Europe forming water
routes E70 and E40. However it does not meet the criteria required for the
international waterways. Moreover, the river has a quite large hydro-energy
potential. There have been many plans for the development of the Lower
Vistula River so far. Unfortunately none of them has been implemented. In
this paper, the authors would like to present their own arguments to
reactivate the Lower Vistula Cascade (LVC) project. In order to analyse the
LVC idea and Lower Vistula hydraulic potential, a numerical hydraulic
model of the Lower Vistula was developed at the Department of Hydraulic
Engineering of Gdansk University of Technology. Various aspects of the
LVC concept, such a potential inland waterways, hydropower, flood control
and water retention, are discussed in the article.
