VISTULA<br />
Nieszawa Dam<br />
The Polish Parliament has refused to allocate public spending on building the Nieszawa Dam in the Lower<br />
Vistula (2002), showing that there are more and more supporters for alternatives—such as modernization of<br />
the existing Wloclawek dam or its decommissioning—that are better from the environmental, social, and<br />
economic points of view. In 2001, WWF published a comprehensive analysis which showed that the dam<br />
would not be the best technical solution to address problems caused by the aging Wloclawek Dam. The dam<br />
would also cause significant damage to the environment and negatively effect the sustainable development of<br />
the whole Vistula river valley.<br />
