Due to the significant amount of Still organic matter, organic matter in the tank (approx. 11.5% of the dry weight of sediment), it emits approx. 400 mg of methane per area of 1 m2 (which is approx. 27% of the total amount of gases emitted from the sediment of average 3114 ml m−2 d−1). For this reason, is considered an important source of greenhouse gas , greenhouse gases emission. Functions The tank has three basic functions: * Retention - during floods, water on the Vistula River reservoir retains a large part of the floodwaters; * Energy - on the dam is Hydroelectric power plant in Włocławek, Wloclawek hydroelectric power plant; * Tourism - Lake Wloclawski developed follow ...

This would have meant that (East) Germany could have retained approximately half of Silesia, including most of Wrocław (formerly Breslau). However the Soviets rejected the suggestion at the Potsdam Conference and insisted that the southern boundary between Germany and Poland be drawn further west, at the Lusatian Neisse.Brogan, Patrick (1990).
