Sweco has secured a contract with Polish Waters, Poland’s national water authority, to review and update flood risk management plans. The contract extends from 2026 to 2028.

The project forms part of Poland’s initiatives under the EU Floods Directive to strengthen resilience to future flood events. Sweco will lead a consortium responsible for updating plans for six river basin districts in Poland, including the Vistula and Oder basins.

“This review and update of Poland’s flood risk management plans is a key element of the six-year planning cycle under the EU Floods Directive. By combining expertise in water management, environmental and spatial analysis, economic assessment and stakeholder engagement, Sweco will support Polish Waters in strengthening Poland’s resilience to future climate-related flood events,” says Maciej Chrzanowski, President of Sweco in Poland.

Sweco has an established track record with Polish Waters (Państwowe Gospodarstwo Wodne Wody Polskie), mainly in flood risk reduction, reservoir design, and climate adaptation/water infrastructure work.

The new agreement reflects the growing focus on climate resilience across Europe. It is in line with Sweco’s recent report, Too much, too little, too polluted, which draws on European data and Sweco’s water-sector expertise from several markets.
