Abstrakt

The author deals with the historical development of the Polish water law company, starting with the medieval times. Presented here are issues concerning terminology, the origin of this institution, its evolution in the First and Second Polish Republic, its significance in the era of People's Republic of Poland as well as legal reforms in this respect that have occurred after 1989. Since water management is a vital sector of economy, it has been subject to state regulation, particularly via administrative instruments. As a result the history of these regulation forms is extremely rich.
