Major developments may come to the Eastern Main Canal – promises László Gajdos

Significant improvements are planned for the Eastern Main Canal, as announced by Minister László Gajdos. The 98-kilometer canal will undergo cleaning over nearly 40 kilometers, removing sediment and reinforcing banks. Additionally, several important water management structures will be modernized. The project includes ensuring water supply for two saline lakes in cooperation with the Hortobágy National Park Directorate, focusing on conservation and water retention. Four new sites will allow water drainage over a total of 216 hectares. The dredging will be conducted in a way that minimizes impact on wildlife, avoiding breeding seasons for reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Details on the timeline and budget were not provided.
