Description

Description (EN):

Complex development of the regional water management system of the area of the Baja-Bezdan (Ferenc) Canal covers the area of the South Great Plain Region in Hungary and Bačka and Banat Regions in Serbia. It is a water management and technical facili ty with international relevance. The main functions of the Canal are water supply and inland water outlet (also used for sport and recreation). Sections of the Canal and technical premises on the Canal form parts of the flood prevention system. The w ater supply capacity has decreased significantly due to non-maintenance, the increased quantity of biomass and mud cause water quality problems. The target area comprises the Baja-Bezdan Canal (both HU and SRB sections of the Canal), the Vrbas-Bezdan Canal on the Serbian side and Bezdan Lock and Sebesfok Locklocated on it.The Vrbas-Bezdan Canal is in Vojvodina part of Bačka, stretching from Bezdan, all the way to Vrbas. Related facilities are Bezdan Lock and Sebesfok Lock. Bezdan Lock has been o ut of use because of its condition of construction and hydro-mechanical machinery. It is still a significant facility within the Canal Danube-Tisa-Danube (DTD) Hydro-system, which makes its functionality essential.Šebešfok Lock is located where the B aja-Bezdan Canal flows into the Bezdan-Vrbas Canal. The Lock was an industrial facility enabling navigation and the only way of transporting goods in the region. Project is aiming at decreasing flood and potential flood hazard of the targeted territo ry, and to restore the water runoff capacity of the Canal. Interventions in the project improve cross-border water management and risk prevention system. Main activities of the project are: dredging of canal sections and building of driftwood removal platforms and boat ramps in HU; Reconstruction and rehabilitation of Bezdan Lock and Sebesfok Lock; Procurement of special equipments for maintenance in HU and in SRB. Project results will provide solid basis for further development (eg. tourism).
