Report on the cleaning of the Black Grouse's Clay

On Sunday, May 19, 2013 the Exploring Sub-Warsaw Diving Group carried out a clean-up of the Cietrzewia Glinianki water reservoir located in the Warsaw district of Włochy. The action involved 25 divers and numerous surface support.

Water temperature at the surface approx.16st.C, clearly perceptible thermocline approx. 2.5 metres below the water surface. Below the thermocline the temperature is 6 °C. Maximum depth of almost 9.5 metres. Visibility in gusts to 50 centimetres, but mostly almost zero.

Countless bottles, various types of packaging and several tyres, both smaller ones from cars and really big ones from agricultural tractors, were recovered from the water. One of the biggest finds was a very old bathtub, which was eventually picked up by scrap collectors. A wooden boat was also found underwater, lying at a depth of 3 metres, but no attempt was made to retrieve it due to its dimensions.

Thanks for the participation of all the divers and all the people who helped us on the surface. We did a great job. Thanks are also due to all the sponsors, partners and patrons of our action. Your support is very important to us and we are very grateful.

Cleaning up Glinianki Cietrzewia is yet another action taken by the GEPN in an effort to keep Mazovian reservoirs clean. Previously, the group cleaned up Glinianki in Gołkowo and Zielonka, as well as a gravel pit near Garwolin. We invite you to further ecological actions and exploration of new reservoirs in the Mazovia region.
