Hungary's government has announced a comprehensive water retention action plan, allocating 221 billion HUF for water management investments over the coming years. Minister László Gajdos presented the National Water Retention Concept and Action Plan, emphasizing the need for a shift towards landscape water retention rather than drainage. The plan aims to restore channels and sluices, improve water retention in landscapes, and facilitate local water utilization. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to address Hungary's water management challenges, with a significant increase in funding for water-related projects by 2027.
