Abstract:
Six water bodies or their complexes - four in Cracow and two in the Commune of Niepołomice, Southern Poland - were studied focusing the changes they have undergone and the present state from the point of view of their attractiveness to the visitors. The degree of threat to the water bodies was also assessed. The highest grades were given to the ponds of Niepołomice (Zamkowa), due its well management. The lowest grades were attributed the ponds of Płaszów (also the most threatened pond) and Staniątki (probably a temporary situation). The least threatened complex of water bodies is the one in Przylasek Rusiecki. Two of the described water bodies (Dąbie and Staniątki) diminished their area within the last 20 years and the pond of Płaszów diminished earlier.
