Abstract

The floodplain of Szigetköz region is a symbol of the Hungarian political system change and the exact place of that drastic human intervention redraw radically the upper section of the Danube in Hungary for a longterm by a Czechoslovak-Hungarian political decisions series (Gabcikovo-Nagymaros System). Slovaks are unilaterally implemented the so-called C variant here by the effect of the contemporary Hungarian civil protests. Since that time the floodplain area is an unresolved complex problem nodule from the viewpoint of nature protection, ecology, hydrology, forestry, ecotourism, shipping and water quality. Nearly fifteen years of our research and planning activities try to find complex landscaping solutions for these problems. Finally it has been demonstrated in 2007 by a physical hydrology model experiment series that there is a better water supply solution for this region. And this solution could be strengthening the historical characteristic of the Szigetköz Inland Delta where the natural, economic and social aspects could be also fulfilled.
