„Even though the galley is above, and the water flow is below, the water is the lord!” Sándor Petőfi

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) INFLEXIBLE SYSTEM: 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)
BAD CONVEYANCE CAPACITY (building in the high-water river bed areas) LACK OF THE RESERVOIRS
The development of the Magyarország árterei és védvonalai levee sections
The length of the primary levee sections is 4200 km, the protected flood plain area is 21200 km2, which is the 23% of the country, that is also unique in Europe
The flood prevention situation of Hungary in European context
The selfobliged security 100 year probability flood level 1250 year probability flood level
Traditional water management – European respect The integrated system of the water resources management

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 !!!
