Sea of ​​Chęciny

-

Chęciny Sea - the usual name of an unrecovered reservoir that was to be built in Chęcin, in the Świętokrzyskie voivodship. The true Chęciny Sea covered the area 200 million years ago and, depending on the climate, several million years ago appeared and disappeared.

The history of the reservoir dates back to the 1930s when it was planned to flood up to 7,000 hectares, making it the largest of its kind in the country. After World War I, Poland had limited access to the Baltic Sea, so the planned reservoir was hailed as the sea.

In the 1950s the first measurements and geological studies took place. The concept developed by the Polish Academy of Sciences included 3,000 ha.

In 1972, land was added to the area under the reservoir. To the village of Mosty was provided the facade to put there. The work was not started. In 1973 the Government Bureau decided to carry out the construction in 1979-1984, but it was only in 1985 that the rest of the land was cleared.

Following the political transformation, the vice mayor of Chęciny, Jerzy Kasiński tried to explain the situation of the reservoir. The Ministry of Environmental Protection did not take a position.

In 1995, the new reservoir plan covered 1852 hectares. In 2005, however, an expert opinion on the profitability of investments was commissioned. It drew attention to Inadequate soil permeability and too low depth of flooding.

Currently, the construction of such a large reservoir is not justified. Considering the possibility of building a smaller spillway (about 800 ha) in a similar location. Object of the tank Bibliography
