The Commitee chaired by the author of this article was appointed by the Poznań division of Polish Academy of Sciences. 21 subjects have been elaborated, mostly in the group work in course of the expertise proceedings. Among others, these are the following: characteristics of the brown coal deposits and the designed mining and power combine, changes in groundwater circulation effected by a possible working of deposits, changes in surface water deposits, water requirements in the power plant as compared to total water deposits, danger for ground water intakes, changes in the area configuration, degradation of soils, the effect deposits working on agriculture, forestry, industry, housing and infrastructure, the effects on population, employment, living conditions and last but not least — losses in the sphere of national culture. The expertise provides a relatively complete comparison of costs and losses related to the prospective exploitation of the deposits. It can therefore be of a higher value for the decision making than ministry calculations biased by technical and productional point of view. A correct assessment of the effectiveness of the mining and power combine is possible only against the background of the assessment of nation-wide power-system and perspectievs of its developementpolinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArtykuł
