Krzysztof Chudy, Magdalena Bajor, Aneta Chudy
Summary
In 1990, Polish coal mining was restructured due to change in geological law, resulting in the closure of the Lower Silesia Coal Region. After closure, the mines were flooded. This process caused changes in the ground water and surface water environment. The aim of this article is to evaluate surface water quality parameters The research area is located in the upper part of the Lesk Stream catchment area and in the Czerwony Stream catchment area (Wałbrzych part of Lower Silesia Coal Region). This area has been subjected to environmental stress from mining from the middle ages to the 1990s
