Hydro-trap

Drinking tap water is becoming increasingly popular, but this does not translate into the domestic market for bottled water, which is growing every year. In 2001, about 37 litres of water were produced for each inhabitant of Poland, in 2019 this number tripled and is already about 120 litres. This year’s revenues of the bottled water sector will reach nearly PLN 5,400 billion. Installation from plastic bottles, among others Żywiec Zdrój (Danone), Kropla Beskidu (Coca-Cola), Nałęczowianka (Nestlé) presents annual consumption per person.

The degree piece was presented in the Oligocene water intake in Na Książęcem Park in Warsaw.
