Channel of Nysa-Oława

-

The Nysa-Oława metamorphic channel, called on the individual sections of the Pępickie Canal or the Psarskie Channel, is a hydrotechnical structure designed to transfer water mass from the Nysa Kłodzka trough to the Oława river bed.

The Oława River is the main source of drinking water for Wroclaw, but the water resources were insufficient, hence the idea to feed Oława with Nysa Kłodzka waters (relatively cleaner than the Oder waters). The channel was created around 1971.

The channel starts at a junction near Michałów, near the A4 motorway bridge. The first 2 km flows through an artificial channel to Michalow. There (along the road no. 458) there is a pump station that pours water under an underground pipeline to a nearby hill - called Michałowski Lake. From here, the open canal runs north-west, in the valley of the former Pępicki Potok. This stream has been erected on many sections, the edges are reinforced with concrete.

Around Obórki there is a first shot. Here the water is collected for the city of Brzeg. At this station water from the canal, after preliminary mechanical cleaning, additionally mixed with the waters of a few nearby deep wells, is further conducted underground pipes to the water treatment plant and wells in Krzyżowice. From here to Brzeg.

The main mass of water flows down the old Pępicki Stream. In the vicinity of national road no. 39, the channel connects with Przyleski Potok and from that place it already has a new name: Psarski Channel from the name of Psarskie Potok, which is used by the valley (although de facto it is the same waterway).

Behind the Psary, and before the Godzikowice there is another shot of water. Here, the Psirnik River turns north-east and leads towards the village of Ścinawa, where it flows directly to the Odra River. However, the water of the metastatic channel is carried further by an artificial channel in the north-west direction towards Jaczkowice.

The Jaczkowic canal connects with Oława. The amount of water in the canal is similar to the amount of water in Oława.

Pupo Román

José René "Pupo" Román Fernández (died 1961) - Dominican general. Curriculum vitae In the Dominican history, when the dictatorial president Rafael Leónidas Trujillo was in power, Roman was his niece's husband and "third person in the state" (Trujillo and SIM Arturo Espaillata). He was the Minister of Armed Forces, a close associate of Trujillo, which did not prevent him from accepting Trujillo's murder in 1961 from the American consul in the Dominican Republic, Henry Dearborn. He led to the murder of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, but he could not use this to overthrow his followers. He failed to arrest them along with Trujillo's sons such as Ramfis. Ultimately, the conspiracy ended with the conspirators' defeat when Zacarias - chauffeur Trujillo - survived the presidential bombardment and handed over the drafts of the bombers and Arturo Espaillat informed Roman about the death of the commander - at the sight of Arturo Espaillata Roman revealed ...

Myrmex Indikos

Myrmex Indikos, pol. Indian ant - an alleged species of gigantic ants (according to Herodot's description, larger than foxes, but smaller than dogs). The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous. This story is confirmed by the next accounts: Nearchos, one of the army officers of Alexander Macedoński, and Megastenes - a historian and traveler. The fragment of the Megasthenes (IV-III century BC) preserved in fragments can be seen in the underground mines at the foot of the mountains on the easte...

Names of streets and squares

-
The names of the streets and squares were originally of a topographical nature, that is, they informed about: Researchers propose two names for these toponyms - urban or plateonimy. S. Urbańczyk points out that the older names were spontaneously formed and sprouted in the daily lives of the inhabitants of the place. The information contained herein was related to the characteristics of the place (eg appearance), important road directions (geographic orientation) or values, functions and economic meanings called places / objects in the settlement for the inhabitants' lives. Former names are protected by law, but are often not respected by managers of the municipality, county or province. Currently the names of streets and squares are given by the commune authorities, county governors or voivodships. There is a tendency to use commemorative names, ie to commemorate deserving people and important events (eg Zygmunt August Street, 3. Maja Street). The names of the districts are ...
