Drwinka is a river, the right bank tributary of the Vistula with a length of 31.05 km (19 mi).Drwinka flows in the Wieliczka and Bochnia Counties of Lesser Poland Voivodeship from sources near Niepołomice to the mouth in Świniary, 133.5 km (83 km) into the Vistula River. Among its tributaries are streams and ditches from Niepołomice Forest, Wilczy Forest and from near Gawłówek. The southeastern part of its catchment basin is situated in the sandy area of the Vistula valley, filled mainly with quaternary river sediments covered with loess and sandstones of a dozen or so feet. Here the river passes through the Niepołomice Forest, dividing it into two different flora complexes. The overall quality assessment of the Drwinka river waters at its estuary in physico-chemical, hydrobiological and bacteriological terms corresponds to Class I or Class II standards. Water in Drwinka does not show signs of eutrophication.

The Raba is a river in the south of Poland (Lesser Poland Voivodeship), and a right-bank tributary of Vistula River. Its source is in the Beskids, between the towns of Rabka-Zdrój and Nowy Targ. It flows to the north and then to the northeast. Towns along the river Raba include Rabka-Zdrój, Mszana Dolna, Myślenice, Dobczyce and Bochnia. For centuries, the Raba was an important artery, along which several towns and villages were established. Its name probably comes from Celtic languages, and the Raba is divided into three parts: the Upper Raba (60 kilometres [37 mi] long located in the Beskids), the Middle Raba (in the Carpathian Foothills), and the Lower Raba (in the Sandomierz Basin). The Raba has its source at the Sieniawa mountain pass, at the height of 750 metres (2,460 ft) above sea level. It flows into the Vistula near Uscie Solne, after 134.7 kilometres (83.7 mi), while the area of its drainage basin is 1,537.1 square kilometres (593.5 sq mi). From its source downstream to the town of Myślenice, the Raba is a typical mountain river, with narrow valley, rock-covered bed, fast currents and big drops. Below Lake Dobczyce it retains its mountain features for several kilometers. The river has no tributaries for its last 19 kilometres (12 mi). The Raba marks the boundary between the Makow Beskids and the Island Beskids, as well as the boundary between the Wieliczka Foothills, and the Wisnicz Foothills. Its tributaries are mainly mountain streams, such as Poniczanka, Slonka, Krzyworzeka, Mszanka, Kasinianka, Kaczanka, Krzczonówka, Trzemesnianka, Stradomka, Babica.

Uście Solne [ˈuɕt͡ɕɛ ˈsɔlnɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Szczurowa, within Brzesko County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in southern Poland. It lies approximately 9 kilometres (6 mi) west of Szczurowa, 18 km (11 mi) north of Brzesko, and 43 km (27 mi) east of the regional capital Kraków.The name of the village is tied to its location, at the mouth of the Raba, where it flows into the Vistula (Polish word "ujście" or "uście" means "river mouth"). The adjective Solne refers to salt, as for centuries, the river port at Uście served salt mines from Bochnia. Uście Solne received town charter from King Kazimierz Wielki, on May 18, 1360. Most likely, however, it had been a town before that date, and Kazimierz Wielki only confirmed the already existing charter, changing it from obsolete Sroda Slaska rights to the more modern Magdeburg rights After 1360, the new town of Uscie Uście was placed near Old Uście (Stare Uście), a village near the confluence of the Raba and the Vistula. Traces of earth fortification, which protected salt warehouses, are still visible. Uście Solne prospered in the second half of the 14th century, due to salt deposits, mined at Bochnia, and transported here along the Raba river. The town had a large medieval main square, as well as a town hall. Several residents of Uście Solne studied at Kraków's Jagiellonian University; three rectors of the university came from Uście (Stanislaw z Uścia Jakub Papenkowicz z Uścia, and Wojciech Papenkowicz). Uście Solne remained a river port of local importance until the first partition of Poland (1772). Its slow decline, however, began during Swedish invasion of Poland (1655–1660), when it was completely burned. Annexed by the Habsburg Empire as part of Galicia, it quickly lost its importance after the Austrians built a new Vistula river port at nearby Swiniary. During World War I, heavy fighting between Russian and Austro-Hungarian forces took place here, and the village has a military cemetery nr. 319, located near parish cemetery. Uście Solne lost its town charter in 1934.
