The old, corroded sluice gate is permanently opened now, and all the water in the ditches will flow into a small river, Mietiułka, then into Włodawka, then the #Bug River, one of largest rivers in Poland which, for much of its course, is the border between Poland and Ukraine and Belarus, and then into Poland's largest river, Wisła, and finally into the Baltic Sea. When summer comes the #wetland #meadows will be dry as dust, but the farmers will be able to mow them without getting their tractors stuck in the mire. They don't really need to mow those meadows, but they get paid for just doing so, so when the wetlands are wet, as they should be, they face a financial loss.
