The article presents the first part of the research carried out under joint research project between the Republic of Poland and the Federal Republic of Germany under the grant ‘Underwater Eco-monitoring’ The main objective of the project is to prepare a scientific method for monitoring inland water reservoirs, with regard to fauna and flora, taking into account human activity. Investigation in the first phase is focused on understanding and characterizing the Zakrz´owek quarry and reported the stage before construction works based on available databases, research materials, literature, and other sources, including archives of the AKP ”Krab” AGH (diving club from Cracow). It is worth to mention that since the beginning of the 20th century, limestone has been extracted in the quarry in Zakrzówek (Cracow, Poland). Once mining was stopped in 1991, the excavation was filled with water, and an area became popular diving spot. Parallel to diving activity, in this water reservoir, there was a process of introduction of flora and fauna. The natural ecosystem starts to work there. In the summer of 2019, Zakrz´owek has been officially closed until 2021, during which time the city has plans to develop it into a recreation area. Due to the problems with COVID-19, the maintenance works are continuing in 2022 and the official opening of the water reservoir will be in 2023. The results obtained from the query provided describing the flora and fauna, as well as underwater landscapes in the quarry before the construction works. The next step will be create reports after construction works, including the influence on underwater lifer the construction materials.
