Groundwater is a vital element in the shaping of every country’s economic security; it is strategically important. It constitutes a reserve in the event of a crisis regarding a shortage of surface water or its contamination. Its quantity and quality is continuously monitored. Moreover, it is subject to rationing and legal discipline. In Poland, groundwater accumulates at a depth of approximately 800-1000 metres. There are about 180 large subterranean water basins in Poland. Groundwater is used for selected branches of hydrotherapy and in geothermal energy industries. In Poland, the use of groundwater amounts to approximately 15% of total water use. Its quality is very good or good. Its use is efficient and economical. It must not be exploited on a larger scale and must be preserved for future generations.

From 2013 to 2014 Poland exported arms and military equipment that is worth approximately €336-395 million. There were several hundred transactions during a year. Considering the worth of the exported arms and equipment, the majority of exports consisted of aircraft, ammunition and equipment. In addition, Polish small arms and light weapons enjoy an excellent reputation abroad and therefore they also sold well. This results, among other things, from multilateral international cooperation within the framework of joint projects, and from the industry consolidation. The main end-users of these weapons were the USA, Algeria and Turkey. Considering the arms and military equipment exports from the international perspective, much better results than Poland’s are achieved (when analysing various factors) by Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic or Sweden. However, the coming years should bring about improvement of Polish exports, as arms and equipment will be exported by a corporate group, i.e. the Polish Armaments Group. This might strengthen Poland’s 10th position in Europe among exporter companies on the defence market. As well as traditional products, there appear new space and satellite technologies, which will allow Poland to widen the circle of foreign clients and to establish wider cooperation.
