The project, which was previously rejected in the Citizens' Budget due to land ownership issues, is now being implemented thanks to an agreement between the Municipality of Kraków and the Regional Water Management Board. The sensors will measure water level, pH, electrolytic conductivity, suspended solids, turbidity, dissolved oxygen and atmospheric parameters.
