Comparison of water supply and sewerage in Gdansk (Poland) in three different periods
Article Abstract:
The article examines water quality management practices in Gdansk, Poland, during the mid-1300s, the late 1800s, and present day. The earliest system was comprised of an aqueduct from the Radunia River, while the 19th century system used groundwater. A sewerage system and wastewater treatment plant were also built at this time. Present-day challenges include adequate treatment of wastewater to lessen negative impact on the Baltic Sea coast.

Article Abstract:
An overview is presented on Lithuania water treatment policies, covering standards adopted in 1957, the construction of wastewater treatment plants, and the launch of environmental monitoring in 1962. Research shows that the nation's river water quality has improved since the 1970s, but algal blooms and bacteriological pollution remain a problem downstream in the Baltic Sea.
