construction of the network of water boreholes for monitoring of Turow mining impacts

Ongoing construction of the network of water boreholes for monitoring of Turow mining impacts in the surroundings of the Turow open-pit lignite mine, near the Czech-Polish border, expanding by 16 wells, in Hermanice, Czech Republic, on February 18, 2020. The Turow mine supplies coal mainly to the nearby Turow plant, which generates 8 percent of Poland's energy supplies.
