Even though the galley is above, and the water flow is below, the water is the lord! Sándor Petőfi Dr. Zoltán Illés Minister of State for Environmental Affairs
Geographical evaluation Hungary depends on the water basins of the neighbouring countries Dependency on the foreign water basins Exposure to climate change The underestimated security policy Exhausted security
The network of water courses in Hungary
Surface-water balance of Hungary (the transit basin feature) In case of flood or large amount of inland water, the water can only flow out of the country too slowly(2010) In case of drought, it happens too fast (2007) INFLEXIBLE SYSTEM: BAD CONVEYANCE CAPACITY (building in the high-water river bed areas) LACK OF THE RESERVOIRS
The development of the levee sections Magyarország árterei és védvonalai The length of the primary levee sections is 4200 km, the protected flood plain area is 21200 km 2, which is the 23% of the country, that is also unique in Europe

Causes and consequences of the extraordinary situations Causes Increase of flood level Missing maintenance works Building up and unchecked critical flood plains Missing of the needed developments Complicated legal background Lack of financing We afford more costs for the expensive protection, however the system continuously loosing its safety. Consequences - conslusions In many cases, the protection against the 1 % probability flood - prescribed by the law-is not enough The reserve of the flood protection and the excess water systems is already used up As soon as possible to start the long term planning minimum for 50 years in advance using the principle safety + reserve
Once upon a time this dyke was also built at design level
and even this one!!! Beginning of dyke breach on the right side of Tisza river between Tarpa and Tivadar
