Management and Production Engineering Review (MPER) is a peer-refereed, international, multidisciplinary journal covering a broad spectrum of topics in production engineering and management. Production engineering is a currently developing stream of science encompassing planning, design, implementation and management of production systems. Orientation towards human resources factor differentiates production engineering from other technical disciplines. The journal aims to advance the theoretical and applied knowledge of this rapidly evolving field, with a special focus on production management, organisation of production processes, management of production knowledge, computer integrated management of production flow, enterprise effectiveness, maintainability and sustainable manufacturing, productivity and organisation, modelling and simulation, decision making systems, project management, innovation management and technology transfer, quality engineering and safety at work. Management and Production Engineering Review is published under the auspices of the Polish Academy of Sciences Committee on Production Engineering and Polish Association for Production Management.

The main purpose of Management and Production Engineering Review is to publish the results of cutting-edge research advancing the concepts, theories and implementation of novel solutions in modern manufacturing. Papers presenting original research results related to production engineering and management education are also welcomed.

We welcome original papers written in English. The Journal also publishes technical briefs, discussions of previously published papers, book reviews, and editorials.

Letters to the Editor-in-Chief are highly encouraged.

Człowiek rzadko się zastanawia, skąd pochodzi woda i jak duże jej zasoby są dostępne. Jednocześnie to on jest najczęściej odpowiedzialny za jej zanieczyszczenie. Problemami związanymi ze skażeniami ujęć zajmuje się zespół interwencyjny Państwowej Służby Hydrogeologicznej.

Susza – to słowo wywołuje niepokój. Wyobraźnia podsuwa bowiem obrazy wyschniętych studni i jałowej ziemi, ale przede wszystkim bezużytecznych kranów i kolejek do studni. Czy w Polsce problemy z wodą są prawdopodobne?
