Roots

The idea to establish an organization which would unite hydrologists came up during XXXIV School of Hydrology in Mądralin in May of 2006.

The founding meeting of Association of Polish Hydrologists took place in Warsaw, in the building of IMGW (Institute of Meteorology and Water Management) on Podleśna 61 Street on the 18th of September 2006. Twenty-eight hydrologists from all over Poland participated in it. The participants appointed the Founding Committee of Association of Polish Hydrologists. Also, the Statue of the Association was passed, the Main Board and peer disciplinary board was chosen.        

Professor Beniamin Więzik was appointed the President of the APH

Professor Kazimierz Banasik and Doctor Barbara Nowicka were appointed the vice-presidents.

The Founding Committee:

1. Jerzy Niedbała
2. Barbara Nowicka
3. Tamara Tokarczyk
4. Wojciech Rędowicz
5. Beniamin Więzik
   

began the works on registering the Association of Polish Hydrologists. 

On the 8th December 2006 a meeting of APH took place, during which amendments in the Statue were made in order to enable the Association to be registered in the National Court Register.  

The Association of the Polish Hydrologists was registered on 10th January 2007 in The District Court for the Capital City of Warsaw, XII Economic Department of National Court Register.
