The map presents a simplified image of the surface geological structure of Poland at a scale of 1:1,000,000. It includes the following thematic layers: Geological units, Tectonics, Glaciation ranges and basic topographic layers (administrative boundaries, rivers, localities). The map was created for the needs of OneGeology-Europe.

Polish Geological Institute - National Research Institute (PGI-NRI) provides measurement results, tests in terms of quality and amount of groundwater, necessary for quantitative and chemical assessment of groundwater. The organisation and scope of groundwater monitoring was adapted to comply with European Community directives, particularly the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC), Groundwater Directive (2006/118/EC) and Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC), in accordance with its specific features resulting from the unique geological structure and hydrogeological conditions in Poland. Groundwater monitoring is implemented on three levels: national, regional and local.

Under the Act of June 9, 2011, Geological and Mining Law (Journal of Laws No. 163, item 981, as amended) Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute (PIG-PIB) performs the role of Polish Geological Survey. One of the tasks of PIG-PIB as Geological Survey is to create and maintain geological databases, in this including the system MIDAS (the System of management and protection of mineral resources in Poland – MIDAS). System MIDAS is the primary source of information on mineral resources of Poland, the exploitation of deposits and it is the source of data for the project Mintell4eu. The System contains information on deposits (and its spatial location), raw materials in deposits, raw materials resources and on the raw materials volumes of exploitation. In addition, it also contains data on mining areas and exploatation permits (concessions) as well as their spatial location. The owner of the colected data is the State Treasury represented by the proper minister resposible for geology.
