The paper presents key information on the location and agricultural characteristics of Beskid Wyspowy Mountains, divided into four altitude zones: below 500 m, 500-700 m, 700-1,000 m, and over 1,000 m above. Land use in these zones is described, with special focus on farmland, as well as slope inclination in five ranges: 0º-6º, 6º-11º, 11º-20º, and over 20º. Yields of principal crops cultivated in the area are also quoted, and fanning problems discussed, particularly those associated with high altitudes and steep grades of farmland.
Because saline mine waters threaten Polish rivers in the Upper Silesian Coal Region, they have to be utilized. The authors discuss methods of mine water management; they also deal with evaluation of the agricultural suitability of products of saline water treatment.

Up till now the most frequent way of defecation lime use in most Polish sugar factories has been filtration of lime in vacuum filters, and then its temporary storage in setting ponds. In his way defecation lime, which is a valuable fertilizer, becomes a burdensome by-product. The authors of this article have introduced a simulation of two other chosen methods of lime use in the conditions of „Wrocław” and „Strzelin” sugar factories and then made a comparative analysis of the obtained results.
