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. The original MIDAS database structure has been modified and adapted to the structure given in Mintell4eu specification.

Download service enabling downloading of Geological Map of Poland data at a scale of 1:1,000,000. The service uses the WFS OGC interface in version 2.0.0.

The Central Geological Database (Centralna Baza Danych Geologicznych – CBDG) is the largest Polish collection of digital geological data, such as detailed information on boreholes, archival geological reports and various types of geophysical research.

This service downloads the INSPIRE data for a predefined “Grounwater Monitoring - quality monitoring facilities” for the territory of Poland. The service uses the Atom 1.0 and OpenSearch 1.1 interface.

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.

INSPIRE data viewing service "Geological Map of Poland in a scale of 1:1 000 000". The service meets the requirements of the INSPIRE specification for viewing services (INSPIRE View Service). The service uses the WMS OGC interface in version 1.3.0.

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.

The database of the Landslide Protection System contains information on landslides and hazard areas of the mass movements.

The WFS download service of the Shallow Geothermal Energy Potential Maps database contains the following information layers collected and produced within the framework of the Shallow Geothermal Energy Pottential Maps project: • 13 area-specific GIS information layers: o thermal conductivity maps λ [W/m*K] at depths of 40, 70, 100 and 130 m below ground level; o unit heat output maps qv [W/m] for 1800 h of heat pump operation per year at depths of 40, 70, 100 and 130 m below ground level; o unit heat output maps qv [W/m] for 2100 h of heat pump operation per year at a depth of 40, 70, 100 and 130 m below ground level; o Borehole heat exchangers feasibility map according to environmental conditions. • layers made on the basis of the data contained in the documentation in the Central Geological Archives of Polish Geological Institute: o Location of boreholes for ground source heat exchangers (GHE), o representative profile of the borehole for ground source heat exchanger (GHE) with borehole documentation card, o objects with ground source heat pumps (GHP) installed, o the area of location of an object with a shallowe geothermal installation; • a layer created by analyzing boreholes from the Central Hydrogeological Databank in accordance with the 2013 PORT PC guidelines: thermal conductivity λ [W/m*K] to a depth of 100 m below ground level; • polygon layer with mapped areas; • polygon layer with a map grid with completed maps at a scale of 1:10 000; • polygon layer with a map grid with completed maps (or under development) at a scale of 1:50 000.
