DRINKING WATER SOURCES - HUNGARY

In Hungary the 95% of the abstracted drinking water is from groundwater.

Drinking water abstractions from surface water are rare, this Pilote Area focuses on 2 of this. Abstarction of the city Szolnok is located along Tisza river and waterwork Balmazújváros along Keleti Irrigation Channel. These waterworks are amongst the most significant surface drinking water suppliers. Others are lokated on Lake Balaton (7), DW reservoirs (5) and smaller streams (5). (In total 19 surface WWs exist.)

TIKEVIR – WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM

The water system of the Hungarian Great Plain was significantly changed from the 19th century. Dykes stopped floods and created huge arable lands without the risk of being flooded.

The disappeared little water courses depending on flood were substituted by channels – that often follow old river beds. The channels are supplied by Tisza water, from two Tisza reservoirs. This system allows the safe water supply of the 2 Pilote Areas. TAKING COOPERATION FORWARD 3

Flood issues

Floods in the Tisza River Basin can occur at any season as a result of rainstorm, snowmelt or the combination of the two. The warm period from May to October accounts for nearly 65% of total floods. Large floods on the Tisza, can last for as long as 100 days or more. This is due to the very flat characteristic of the river.

Two areas of the historical floodplain are worth mentioning, the deepening around Szolnok and the Puszta of Hortobagy.

DROUGHT

The PA often suffers from drought and water scarcity. Mainly Szolnok WW is affected where the water abstraction depends on the water level. The reservoir of Kisköre (Tisza-tó) offers solution for the problem while the impoundment also has to supply with water irrigation channels and touristical aims.

Surface drinking water resources in Szolnok

Surface Waterwork of the city Szolnok is situated in the north-eastern border of Szolnok, on the right riverside of the Tisza. The capacity of the waterwork is 50 000 m3/d, and it supplies Szolnok and 7 of its surrounding settlements.

Alcsi Holt – Tisza (an oxbow lake) reserves drinking water which – in qualitative aspects - is independent from the Tisza. It is activated in case of havaria. The capacity is 30 000 m3/d.

Balmazújváros – Keleti Irrigation Channel Surface Waterwork

• It is situated on the south-eastern part of the city, on the left side of the Keleti Irrigation Channel which is an elevated channel (conducted above the see level of the surrounding area). • The capacity of the waterworks is 30 000 m3/d, the treated water is 13 000 m3/d. • 5 settlements are supplied with exclusively treated SW. Debrecen (the second most populated Hungarian city with 200 000 inhabitants) is supplied with mixed water (SW and GW). • The water abstraction work hasn’t got a deliniated and assigned DWPZ, but due to the Channel’s conditions (elevated channel without waste water inlets) it can be considered as relatively protected. • The main danger source might be a pollution from the River Tisza, e.g. heavy metals. • The surface water is rich in nutrients. Drinking water production needs multiple steps of purification. TAKING COOPERATION FORWARD 9

Drinking water protective zones

Protection is understood to mean the determination, designation, establishment and maintenance of a protective block or area or zone.

Government Regulation defines the criteria of water protection zones:

• The inner protective zone: protection of the abstraction works and the water supplies from direct pollution and damage,

• The outer protective zone: protection against refractory, further bacterial and other decomposable pollutants.

Rivers and other streams Protective area Q95 < 50 m3/s Q95 > 50 m3/s 200 m upstream and 20 m downstream of the abstraction pont (the Inner zone - on water surface downstream distance is 50 m on sections with flow velocity less than 0.5 m/s, disturbed, or backflow) 50 m on each side of the intake For intakes less than 50 m from the LLW (lower low water) along bank: Inner zone - on bank side 20 m wide strip beyond the HHW (heigher high water) along bank

Outer zone - on water surface 5 km upstream of the abstraction 2 km upstream of the abstraction From the HHW along bank 200 m From the HHW along bank 200 m Outer zone - on land wide up to 1 km, 100 m wide up to wide up to 0.5 km. 2 km upstream of the intake. TAKING COOPERATION FORWARD 11

CONCLUSIONS

1. The PA is a plain area, the River Tisza is the main water supplier.

2. The main land use is agriculture; grasslands and pastures, floodplains are covered by broad-leaved forest.

3. The most important pollutions come from the upper catchments (e.g. arable land, solid waste, heavy metals).

4. On the PA drought and water scarcity is a real problem in dry periods.

5. A conflict of interest occur amongst agriculture, nature protection, forestry, flood protection and the goals of the WFD. Stakeholder consultations are of high importance.

6. Sustainable flood defense systems on plain areas should be reconsidered.

Flood issues

The bank filtered drinking water sources are situated along the Danube. Wells are protected from flooding with special technical solutions. Flood protection is important mostly in case of settlements.

The probability of flood hazard • on Szentendre Island is high, • in Budapest urban area is medium, • on the south plain part of the PA is low.

The most famous flood: • June 2013– the highest ever recorded flood level all along the Hungarian Danube section

Drinking water protective zones

Protection involve multiple steps: determination, designation, establishment and maintenance of a protective block, area or zone.

Government Regulation defines the criteria of water protection zones:

• Inner protective block, zone (20 days): protection of the abstraction works and the water supplies from direct pollution and damage,

• Outer protective block, zone (180 days): protection against refractory, further bacterial and other decomposable pollutants,

• Hydrogeological block, zone (5 and 50 years): Protection against refractory pollutants by measures prescribed for the entire, or part of the catchment (recharge) area of the abstraction. The hydrogeological protective block or area is subdivided to "A" , "B" and "C" protective zones.

The delineation of protective zones is based on the estimation of travel time.

Best Management Practices Forest Advantages • The northern and western part of the PA is coverd by forests. Some nice floodplain forest can still be find along the Danube, mainly outside of Budapest.(However owners are different : nature parks, private owners, forestry.) • Protective forest management and afforestation is present. • Forestry administration and control is present. • Agro-environmental payments under Rural Development Programme fosters afforestation along waters and arable land as protective forests, prevents leaching of agricultural pollution. • Soil and water protection functionality of forest ecosystems increasing water infiltration; reducing and slowing runoff and erosion.

Challanges • Ensure up-to-date knowledge transfer. • Control and clear legislative background to reach sustainable forest management. • Flood protection and forest on floodplain.

TAKING COOPERATION FORWARD 11

Best Management Practices Grassland Advantages • Within the inner zone the field continuous grass cover is required. No fertilisers, manure and pesticides are utilisable. • Grassland may reduce quantitative and qualitative vulnerability of groundwater and surface water resources by retaining water, filtering and attenuating pollutants. • Appropriate grazing can efficiently contribute to weed control.

Challanges • information transfer towards farmers • increased awareness of farmers

TAKING COOPERATION FORWARD 12

6 2/13/2018

Best Management Practices Agriculture

Non-irrigated arable land covers 38% of the DWPAs, good agricultural practices are of high importance.

“Good Agricultural Practice” guidelines Budapest Waterworks Company created a good practice guideline regarding DWPZs for farmers to support the protection of drinking water recources in agricultural areas. In this clear explanation is given on the connection between land use and drinking water resources. Suggestions for appropriate and “water-friendly” soil management, usage of fertilizers and pesticides, sowing and planting, irrigation, husbandry and livestock breeding are given. Also adminsitrative obligations are incorporated. The guideline was especially designed for farmers working in water protection zones and considers all aspects of water protection needs, taking also into account the need of farmers. TAKING COOPERATION FORWARD 13

Best Management Practices Agriculture

Advantages • “Good Agricultural Practice” can be applied also in other areas • Well formulated rules for DW protection zones, • Good practices regarding farming and production methods compatible with sustainable use of environment, and the application of manure, fertilisers and pesticides. • Agro-environmental payments encourage farmers to adopt these practices.

Challanges • The willingness of farmers to follow the guideline. • Effectiveness of measures is difficult to measure. • Need of professional knowledge.

TAKING COOPERATION FORWARD 14

7 2/13/2018

Best Management Practices Urban areas (settlements)

The capital of Hungary (Budapest) is nearly on the centre of the PA, with agglomeration the urban area extent is significant (12%). Waste water treatment and rainwater management is of significant issue.

Advantages • Existing sewage systems and waste water treatment plants.

Challanges • Increase the connection to the sewage network. • Improve the waste water treatment technology. • Set up of individual waste water treatment plants for individual houses mainly in small settlements. • Prevent incoming rainwater to the sewage system – needs of separated systems.

TAKING COOPERATION FORWARD 15

Best Management Practices Industrial areas

On the PA there are well-known industrial contaminated areas which also affect some drinking water resources. These contamination sites are abandoned industrial locations (Szentendre: Russian army fort; Budapest: Csepel-works- historical industrial area). Soil and groundwater pollution are typical: heavy metals, organic pollutants. Remediation work is continous since decades.

Advantages • The areas can be used newly for other activities. • Increase in the human health quality. • Increase in the value of real estate.

Challanges • Implementation of the remediation and recultivation. • Increase the level of controlling by authorities.

TAKING COOPERATION FORWARD 16

8 2/13/2018

Best Management Practices Floodplain – river bed - forests From structural flood defense measures there are several ones which effect negatively the bank-filtered system. • Due to barrages built on upstream, the river bed is deepening. As a result, the natural filter surface decreases (gravel and film layer), which can endangers the quality and quantity of extracted water. • Dredging risks eliminating the natural filter (dredging is only permitted in exceptional cases).

Challenges Modelling of deepening’s effects on bank-filtered water abstraction is needed.

TAKING COOPERATION FORWARD 17

CONCLUSIONS

1. Drinking water resources along the Danube depend mainly on good agricultural practices and the hydromorphological status of the Danube.

2. The main land use is agriculture, urban areas, and forests on hills and floodplains.

3. In case of bank-filtration the particular challenge is in the necessity of protection from both the river side and the background. In the same time the wells are shallow drilled, so the system is exceptionally vulnerable.

4. Due to the dual endangering there occur conflicts of interest amongst agriculture, nature protection, forestry, flood protection but also the goals of the WFD. Stakeholder consultations are of high importance.

5. Despite of the legislation the implementation and authority inspection is insufficient. Further problem is the low willingness to cooperation among farmers, other stakeholders and some water suppliers to ensure water protection. Despite of this national level insufficiency, there is a very good cooperation practice on this PA.

6. The DWPAs are situated on high-value real estates; this makes the procedure of designation more difficult for authorities. TAKING COOPERATION FORWARD 18
