Ochrona gruntów rolnych na obszarach realizacji inwestycji przeciwpowodziowych – wybrane zagadnienia prawne

Widespreading floods for many years call for undertaking a numer of prevention measures. It is also necessary to create new legal instruments enabling faster reaction to occuring disasters. The problems were reflected at the European Union level which was expressed in the Directive 2007/60/WE of the European Parliament and Council of 23 October 2007 on flood risk assessment and management. The expression of legislative work at the domestic level is, among others, the Act of 8 July 2010 on special principles of preparation of investments within the scope of flood constructions. Against the background of the act a problem has occurred whether within the framework of undertaken construction processes, which are often implemented on agricultural areas, the issue of land protection has been pushed aside or generally stopped being of crucial, if any, importance. The problem is the subject matter of considerations of the article. The considerations resulted in drawing some conclusions and enabled to put forward some demands on the legislature.
