	Vistula River Basin - UNEP/DEWA~Europe > Publication > Freshwater in Europe
		The middle and lower sections of this river are considered to be one of Europe’s most exceptional areas of natural and landscape value, with meanders, ox-bows, steep banks and sand islands.
		The most critical pollutants entering the Vistula River are: nutrients, phenols, heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Zn, Hg, Cu, As, Cr, Ni), plankton, organic compounds (Trihalomethanes, hydrocarbons and their derivatives, POP’s, phenol compounds, pesticides etc.) and sediments.
		The Vistula river, together with the Oder river, is also the main deliverer of pollutants to the Baltic Sea (90%).

		Abrupt changes in intensity of erosion, transport and sedimentation of deposits are one of the effects of increasing human impact on river basins.
		Calculated equations of regression describe the tempo of accumulation of sediments between the embankments of the Vistula River and in large dam reservoirs.
		Increasing role of deep reservoirs in permanent accumulation of the suspended material in the Vistula River basin has been proved, however, the main accumulator is still the area between the embankments, especially in the upper, piedmont course of the river.

	Goths - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They were settled for some time in the Vistula Basin (called Gothiscandza by Jordanes), whence they migrated towards the south-east.
		On the other hand, the German scholar Wenskus has pointed out that if Jordanes had wanted to invent a fictive past for the Goths, he would have claimed that they were descended from a prestigious location such as Troy or Rome.
		The Wielbark culture shifted south-eastwards towards the Black Sea area from the mid-2nd century, and interestingly it was oldest part of the Wielbark culture, located west of the Vistula and which had Scandinavian burial traditions, that pulled up its stakes and moved[6].

		Since the Ukraine is part of the Danube- and Vistula-basin, the framework for Community action in the field of water policy is applicable to the whole basin, taken into account the planning and execution of measures to ensure protection and sustainable use of water in the framework of the river basin.
		Within a river basin where use of water may have transboundary effects, the requirements for the achievement of the environmental objectives established under this Directive, and in particular all programmes of measures, should be coordinated for the whole of the river basin district.
		For river basins extending beyond the boundaries of the Community, Member States should endeavour to ensure the appropriate coordination with the relevant non-member States.

		The concept to regulate the Vistula resurfaced after the War and the 1950s saw a plan for the construction of nine dams on the lower Vistula that were expected to raise the river's level in order for it to be used by merchant ships.

		The high degree of pollution of the Bug is of particular concern since its drainage basin should meet the requirements of a protected drainage basin.
		Familiarity with the flow and boundaries of a drainage basin is necessary in order to recognize the geographical environment, especially for cases involving spatial planning, environmental protection, and ecology.
		Efforts should be made to raise the water quality in the border river and in the entire drainage basin of the Bug as well as in the Vistula Lagoon through the construction of sewage treatment plants within the boundaries of their catchment basins.
