Maps showing average values of thermal conductivity of soils and rocks, expressed in units of W/(m*K), for the 0-100 m depth interval. Maps were created on the basis of a numerical, three-dimensional model of geological structure (base model), which was then filled with geological-thermal series with assigned values of thermal conductivity rate expressed in units [W/m*K] (parametric model). The parametric model was used to calculate the average value of thermal conductivity of soils and rocks at each point of the studied area and up to the chosen depth level. Maps were produced as part of a project funded by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management entitled: ‘Assessment of the energy potential and environmental conditions of low-temperature geothermal energy’ carried out between 2017 and 2022.

DISCLAIMER for public use: The “Unit heat output maps qv [W/m] for 1800 h of heat pump operation per year at depths of 100 m BGL” as polygon layer is the result of geostatistical calculations and, by definition, represents only an approximate visualization (image) of actual conditions. Because of that the above mentioned layer does not replace the detailed local analysis conducted for the investment (location) at the stage of detailed geological site investigations and preparation or other expert studies. The above mentioned layer has been developed on the basis of simplified empirical linear calculation formulas and can be used only for ground source heat pumps (GSHP) installations of the power below 20 kW and with heating mode only.

Zasady monitoringu wód podziemnych określone są w Rozporządzeniu Ministra Środowiska z dnia 19 lipca 2016 r. w sprawie form i sposobu prowadzenia monitoringu jednolitych części wód powierzchniowych i podziemnych (Dz. U. 2016  poz. 1178). Monitoring operacyjny jednolitych części wód podziemnych prowadzony jest w celu oceny stanu jednolitych części wód podziemnych uznanych za zagrożone niespełnieniem określonych dla nich celów środowiskowych oraz stwierdzenia występowania znaczących i utrzymujących się trendów wzrostu stężenia zanieczyszczeń spowodowanych oddziaływaniami antropogenicznymi. Monitoring operacyjny prowadzi się w Polsce przynajmniej raz w roku, z wyłączeniem roku, w którym prowadzony jest monitoring diagnostyczny stanu chemicznego jednolitych części wód podziemnych.  Od momentu wprowadzenia projektu monitoringu wód podziemnych w 2006 r., monitoring operacyjny przeprowadzono w latach 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015. Ilość punktów opróbowanych w ramach monitoringu operacyjnego – 395,  dwóch seriach pomiarowych (seria wiosenna i jesienna).

Maps showing the feasibility of borehole heat exchangers, considering chosen environmental conditions. Maps are the result of spatial analyses showing 3 types (classes) of areas with the division whether there are contraindications to the construction of a boreholes for ground source heat exchangers (GHE): - installation without contraindications - no adverse environmental conditions; - conditional installation - construction of the installation is conditionally possible (local environmental conditions should be analyzed in detail in the geological operations project and taken into account in the technical design of the GHE); - obviously contraindicated installation - execution of the installation is possible with evident contraindications (due to extremely unfavorable environmental conditions). In addition, an area class of ‘surface water’ was distinguished. Maps were produced as part of a project funded by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management entitled: ‘Assessment of the energy potential and environmental conditions of low-temperature geothermal energy’ carried out between 2017 and 2022.
