Poland: Odra River Basin Flood Protection Project

US$184 million to provide protection to more than 2.5 million people against flooding in several major towns and settlements in the ‘voivodships’ of Slaskie, Opolskie and Dolnoslaskie. It will also support enhancement of the “ecological corridor” in the Odra Valley that provides a habitat for many species, including migratory fish and serves as an important north-south migration route for many bird species as well as for certain mammals. See project details.
