Many spatial databases storing the information on the occurrence and characteristics of the groundwaters were created in the Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute within the framework of the Polish Hydrogeological Survey. The information stored in these databases is shown by the e-psh internet portal. The portal was created in 2009 in the GeoMedia® SDI environment. The portal enables display of the data published in the form of the geoinformation services in different configurations. The newest version of the e-psh portal presents selected information from many hydrogeological databases like the Hydrogeological Map of Poland, Groundwater Main Reservoirs, Groundwater Bodies and Central Data Base of the Hydrogeological Data. It is planned to continue with the further development and update of the portal by adding new information layers.

After accession to the European Union, Poland commenced to implement the Community water policy. The main objective of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) is to achieve a good ecological status of surface and ground waters by 2015. The achievement of such status requires realization of investments as well as planning activities covering such spheres as planning of land use and utilization of natural resources. Including a lot of issues within one directive, so-called framework directive, requires application of modern tools, including GIS-tools enabling evaluation of the status and effects of planned programs. These tools allow current implementation of changes and conducting of spatial analysis of mutual impact of environmental components. The role of GIS-techniques in implementation of the WFD is double, on one side they are utilized for preparation of information layers e.g. river basin characteristics, chemical and ecological status of water bodies, reference conditions etc., and on the other side, preparation and delivery of GIS shapes needed for reporting. Up till now, the following information layers result from WFD implementation: responsible administrative bodies, water balance areas, protection areas, surface water categories, types and bodies, including transitional and coastal waters, ground water bodies and man-made pressures. Inventory of waters in accordance with EU guidelines covers the whole territory of Poland and is harmonized with the activities of neighboring countries. Additional value of the numerical data is the possibility of their utilization by institutions and social parties involved. Public participation is obligatory for the institutions which are involved in the implementation of the programs covering measures within the river basins.
