Debate: A decade of water retention in Poland – experiences and a vision for the future

A member of the Management Board, she is responsible for managing the Company in areas related to the Development Division. She graduated from the Kraków University of Technology with a degree in Environmental Engineering, specializing in Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment. She has been working in the field for 26 years, including 25 years at Wodociągi Bydgoskie. She has led numerous research projects on water quality, the classification of water at the deep-well intake in Gdańsk Forest, and pilot studies on a semi-technical scale regarding the stormwater treatment process, based on which stormwater treatment facilities were designed and built to treat stormwater before it is used for irrigating green spaces. She also analyzed the reasons why the water in Bydgoszcz’s swimming pools did not meet the required quality standards. Based on her own research, she established effective methods for removing hydrogen sulfide from wastewater and vapors, and the solutions she developed are recommended by MWiK. Her most recent project focused on identifying the causes of poor water quality in the “dead” Brda River in Koronowo. In the area of stormwater quality, she is particularly interested in the issue of pollution caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Her scientific approach and Lean Black Belt certification in Lean Management make a significant contribution to the Management Board’s decision-making processes.
