    Carpathian Journal of Earth and Environmental Sciences, February 2016, Vol. 11, No. 1, p. 293 - 301 CONNECTION BETWEEN INLAND EXCESS WATER DEVELOPMENT AND MOTORWAYS Károly BARTA1, József SZATMÁRI1 & Ádám POSTA2 1Department of Physical Geography and Geoinformatics, University of Szeged, 2-6 Egyetem Street, Szeged 6720 Hungary, [email protected] 2Department of Social and Human Geography, University of Szeged, 2-6 Egyetem Street, Szeged 6720 Hungary Abstract: It has been known for a long time that linear infrastructures (railways, roads, embankments) significantly influence surface and subsurface horizontal water movements. Clear evidence can be observed at places where oxbows and abandoned meanders are crossed by roads, while the effect can hardly be shown at lowlands free from linear water drainage forms. This research seeks to answer the question of whether the motorways opened in the last 10 years around Szeged, SE Hungary (M5, M43), have any role in the appearance of extended patterns of inland excess water along certain sections of the motorways. The infiltration conditions of two selected sample sites were determined by soil and geodetic studies and it was also possible to determine the elevation of the groundwater level. The analysis of results underlines the significant effect of linear infrastructures. Inland excess water patterns along the studied highway sections are caused by the motorway M43. Keywords: inland excess water, motorway, groundwater movement, anthropogenic effects, soil compaction 1. INTRODUCTION as being lowest-risk areas on the maps of inland excess water risk and inundation frequency (Bozán The natural drainage networks and et al., 2008; Kozák, 2008; Körösparti et al., 2009; hydrological systems are seriously influenced by Pásztor et al., 2009).

    HUNGARIAN ARCHAEOLOGY E-JOURNAL • 2013 AUTUMN www.hungarianarchaeology.hu RESEARCH INTO THE STRUCTURE OF LATE BRONZE AGE SETTLEMENTS IN THE SOUTHERN GrEAT HUNGARIAN PLAIN: “ENCLOSED SpACE – OpEN BORDERS” PROJECT ANNA PRISKIN – PÉTER CZUKOR – CSABA SZALONTAI – VAJK SZEVERÉNYI Around11300 B.C. significant changes in the structure of settlements can be observed in the southern part of the Great Hungarian Plain, as a result of which a series of fortified settlements was established in the Békés- Csanád loess plateau and the Temesköz regions. These changes indicate important political, economic and ideological transformations in the area. Within the framework of the project presented here we are examining these changes through investigations into the earthworks in the vicinity of Csanádpalota and the presumably multi-tiered settlement system connected with it. The research may provide new perspectives for the interpretation of the Late Bronze Age in the southern part of the Great Hungarian Plain. The opportunity rarely presents itself for Hungarian archeologists to continue and build upon the results of their work carried out at a large-scale rescue excavation within the framework of a follow-up micro- regional research project. During the excavations begun in 2011 on the archeological site number 55 along the section of the M-43 motorway between Makó and Nagylak the features of a Late Bronze Age settlement with a complex system of fortifications began to take shape(Fig. 1). The fortified oval center of the settlement is located a few hundred meters to the north of the right-of-way. The results of the preventive excavation served as a basis for the “Enclosed Space – Open Borders” project, in the context of which we performed field research based on various methods in 2012–2013 in the central section of the ca.

In providing financing, particularly in emerging markets, project financiers often encounter environmental and social policy issues. We recognize that our role as financiers affords us significant opportunities to promote responsible environmental stewardship and socially responsible development. In adopting these principles, we seek to ensure that the projects we finance are developed in a manner that is socially responsible and reflect sound environmental management practices. We believe that adoption of and adherence to these principles offers significant benefits to ourselves, our customers and other stakeholders. These principles will foster our ability to document and manage our risk exposures to environmental and social matters associated with the projects we finance, thereby allowing us to engage proactively with our stakeholders on environmental and social policy issues.
