Paczkowski Lake is a retention reservoir which was constructed due to the flooding of the river Nysa Kłodzka's by the overflow of the lakes which have been part of the river,^[1] the reservoir is made up of two reservoirs, Kozielno and Topola, and is located on the border of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship and Opole Voivodeship.^[2] The main function of the reservoir is to protect the area against floods. The gravel pit in the reservoir works as an extraction of gravel.^[3] The water flow in the reservoir is also used for generating energy^[4] in both of the outflows there are dams. The full capacity of the reservoir is 42,9 million m³.^[5]
