The social campaign “Stop Drought! Start Retention!” is an initiative of the State Water Holding Polish Waters, the aim of which is to implement the updated Drought Effects Counteracting Plan (uDECP). Phase 1 of the campaign, marked in red, covers the period from August 2024 to May 2025 and focuses on identifying areas at risk of drought and assessing the risk of its occurrence in Poland. As part of this phase, experts analyze hydrological and climatic data to determine the most vulnerable regions. To make it easier for you to absorb information on drought, we have prepared a glossary of terms related to the threat and risk of drought.

The effects of Wide Vision’s activities:
Communication agency Wide Vision plays a key role in the campaign, creating a distinctive visual identity that breaks away from the standard green and blue schemes typical of environmental projects. Instead, we used bold and surprising graphic elements that attract attention and emphasize the urgency of the drought. This has given the campaign a strong recognition and effectively stands out from other environmental initiatives. The guiding color of the first phase is red, the color of danger and alarm, reminding us that drought is not a problem of the future – we are fighting it today.
