| Project Detail |
The proposed project focuses on providing flood protection from the Tisza river and its tributary, the Tur, in the upper section of the Tisza. Flood protection will be mainly enhanced through the construction of a 42 million m3 retention reservoir to be formed by the construction of approximately 24.7 km of dykes.
Objectives
The proposed project will increase flood water retention capacity of the Tisza river in order to increase flood safety and reduce potential flood damage by reduction of the height of extreme flood waves. In addition to enhancing flood protection, the project also has a water management function in promoting wetland management and better management of groundwater resources during periods of drought. It also provides improved protection against floods to an estimated 132 000 inhabitants.
