Susza jest najdroższym zagrożeniem naturalnym na świecie. Wystąpieniu suszy nie można zapobiec, ale dzięki zrozumieniu mechanizmów jej powstawania oraz określeniu warunków sprzyjających jej rozprzestrzenianiu się można wpływać na zmniejszanie lub ograniczanie jej skutków. Obserwowana zmiana klimatu i świadomość konsekwencji, w tym wzrostu częstotliwości występowania zjawisk ekstremalnych, stwarza potrzebę wdrażania działań adaptacyjnych. Działania te pozwolą na dostosowanie się do zachodzących zmian w środowisku naturalnym oraz ograniczenie konsekwencji związanych z występowaniem suszy.

Drought is the most expensive natural hazard in the world. Drought cannot be prevented but, understanding the mechanisms of its occurrence and determining the conditions contributing to its propagation, we can limit or mitigate its effects. The observed climate change and awareness of the consequences, including an increase in the frequency of extreme phenomena, creates the need to implement adaptation measures. They will allow for an adaptation to changes occurring in the natural environment and reduction of drought consequences.

This article is an analysis of how the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) constituent bodies governance reform (WMO Reform) can affect the activities of the Polish National Hydrological and Meteorological Service. The analysis employs the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) model. The World Meteorological Congress is the highest authority of the World Meteorological Organization, whose findings guide the operations of the WMO and the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) globally. During the 18th Congress, in June 2019, discussions covered the routine operations of the WMO and its Secretariat, the status and development prospects of all the Organization's research and technical programs, and the Organization's budget for the 18th financial period beginning in 2020. The key actions of the Congress, however, were the election of the WMO senior officers and final approval (after thorough discussion) of the WMO Reform of its governance structure. The purpose of the Reform is to ensure better preparation of the organization for the challenges of the present and future, such as climate change and its impact, the growing number and intensity of extreme weather events, environmental degradation, and increasing urbanization. The tasks of the National Hydrological and Meteorological Service in Poland are performed by the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management - National Research Institute (IMGW-PIB), in accordance with the provisions of the Water Law.

The BONUS MIRACLE project focuses on understanding the of the impact of climate change on water environments, including it’s affects on hydrological regimes and nutrient concentrations. The overall objective of MIRACLE is to initiate a social learning process in collaboration with stakeholders, that can identify new configurations for governance (conceptual, institutional, and practice based) in order to reduce nutrient enrichment and flood risk in the Baltic Sea region. These configurations should be understood as new solutions to protect water resources, ecosystem services and provide win-win solutions. To achieve this environmental modelling of the Reda catchment, Poland, is used as a pilot study for the project. Mathematical models which specified the detailed processes associated with water cycles, including determining interconnections and quantifying variables characteristic to the assessment of the water resource quantity and quality, were found to be useful. Due to the complexity of some models, launching, entering the appropriate data in the correct formats and calibrating the models proved to be challenging. Future developments in the water management sector should concentrate on specific local catchment areas where the application of integrated water resource management principles and the adaptation to climate change are more easily merged with local spatial planning. However, a larger number and higher frequency of measurements would be required.

The aim of the paper is analysis of risk and uncertainty in water management in order to include them in a rigorous way in the decision making in water management according to the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) principles. Review of scientific literature as well as case studies analysis of the European Union research on risk with regard to IWRM served for the assessment of challenges related to the risk and uncertainty estimation in water management. A novelty in the paper is a comprehensive presentation of risk analysis methods related to IWRM based on the analysis of case studies. The conclusions indicate the gaps in the current practice of risk estimation, presentation and visualization. Thus, in turn could enhance decision making in water management.
