The specific goals are:

1. Increase of retention and improvement of water quality (using the principles of sustainable development and sustainable water and sewage management).
2. Implementation of new research methods, observations and tools supporting the monitoring and assessment of the condition of aquatic ecosystems and water-dependent ecosystems.
3. Increasing the use of waterways for inland navigation with the existing resources.

The budget of the program is PLN 800 million.
