Towards the Development of the European Inland Waterway Network – a Feasibility Assessment for the Odra River
2025
Overview
The Odra River, one of Europe’s major rivers, forms a crucial link in the European Waterway network. It suffers from degraded infrastructure and challenging hydrological conditions, which reduce flow depths and navigation periods. Recent shifts in societal and political perspectives towards energy-efficient and environmentally friendly transport have renewed interest in developing the Odra as both a national and international waterway. Poland’s accession to the European Agreement on Main Inland Waterways of International Importance (AGN) in 2017 underscores its commitment to elevating the Odra to international standards. The article presents a new concept that combines navigational improvements with the enhancement of the Odra’s environmental potential. It discusses the underlying conditions and assumptions of the concept, including hydrological and morphological factors, environmental and infrastructure considerations, and the methods and scope for implementing necessary investments. The article also assesses the feasibility of revitalizing and developing this European waterway, as well as presents opportunities and threats, including dilemmas related to environmental protection.
