Title of the Project: Water retention and land use change planning within the framework of the Ancient Dráva Programme
Programme ID: KEHOP-1.3.0-15-2016-00014
Beneficiaries: The Consortium of two governmental bodies such as the General Directorate of Water Management and the South-Transdanubian Water Management Directorate
The Amount of Subsidy: 11 220 000 000 Ft
The start and end date of the project: 18.03.2016. – 31.12.2019.
Description of the project:
The development objective of the Ancient Drava Programme is the improvement of infrastructure conditions of sustainable water management on the planned area; besides the implementation of water management system which supports the water retention and water resource conservation, serves the protection of water quantity and quality, and takes into account the land-use change and the ecological aspects.
Based on the measured and the long range water demand, moreover the available water resources, we are planning to carry out the following water management interventions in the region:
· Renovating and constructing of riverbeds supporting the drainage control, local water damage prevention and other water facilities. Implementing of local amendments which correct the steering of water in accordance with drainage systems.
· Establishing reservoirs and impoundments which would provide water supply during the drought periods of summer.
· Installing water importation systems which would provide the distribution and water importation of the available surface water resources.
· Constructing dams, renovating and establishing lateral check dams.
· Creating opportunities for water supply of backwaters, tributaries and other water bodies.
· Installing water withdrawal sites and pump stations. Improving the functionality of extant operating trenches with the building of mobile pumping stations.
· Implementing the water retention facilities of the lowland-like areas.
As the result of the above mentioned development such as the renovated and newly built facilities the water retention can be feasible on the area; a more flexible water management system can be operated, providing of the multi-purpose water supply – which takes into account the land use change even during the periods of drought as well – can be ensured; the drainage and local water damage can be mitigated.

Title of the Project: Storm reservoirs on the watershed of Baranya Canal – Construction of a reservoir in Magyarszék
Programme ID: KEHOP-1.5.0-15-2016-00007
Beneficiaries: The Consortium of two governmental bodies such as the General Directorate of Water Management and the South-Transdanubian Water Management Directorate
The Amount of Subsidy: 1 907 000 000 Ft
Financing of project.: 100 %
The start date of the project (Subsidy Contract): 15.05.2017.
The planned real end date of the project (Subsidy Contract): 31.10.2019.
Description of the project:
The main objective of the Programme is the reduction of the flood discharge on Baranya Canal. Flood waves generated by the precipitation in May-June 2010 caused significant damages along the watercourses of Baranya Canal’s catchment. The South-Transdanubian Water Management Directorate, as a state institution responsible for the water resource management of the affected region, has made the draft technical study titled ‘Storage possibilities on the catchment of Baranya Canal’ prepared. The study has explored the sites suitable for construction for all the major watercourses in the catchment of the Baranya Canal.
Among the planned reservoirs, the one that is to be built in Magyarszék will have the biggest storm water storage capacity and thus will play a significant role from the aspect of mitigating damages caused by water since it will retain the floods coming from the upper section of the Baranya Canal and from the Kaszánya Stream. Due to its complex utilization further economic opportunities may arise in the region. The reservoir at pumping water-level can provide a permanent water coverage of 28 acres. At flood peaks 54 acres of land is planned to be inundated.
According to the architectural plans, the reservoir is to be built as a longitudinal structure, where the floods will get channelled in through a 60-metre wide side weir. At pumping water-level, the reservoir may offer welfare- and fishing-type utilization as well.
