Rehabilitation of habitats in Kis-Tiszán in Tiszaürt and the water supply of the Beregi and shear wetlands

In the framework of the project, the Hortobágy National Park Directorate aims to rehabilitate the habitat of Kis-Tisza in the area of Central Tisza and to restock the beregi and birch wetlands. The area of Kis-Tisza has been replenished in its current state, dehydrated and covered with weed grooming. Through dredging adapted to natural medermorphology, wetlands with temporary water cover are planned to be created, restoring both morphological and wildlife-related natural features of the area, thereby creating favourable conditions for domestic protected species and species of Community interest. In order to facilitate the replenishment of the planned wetland with water and to ensure that it can be emptied, a canal with a ground-bed will be built from the middle waterbed of the Tisza. The drainage of the Tisza would take place through the built canal, so it is also necessary to build a works of art. Another important investment element of the project is to improve the ecological water resources and climatic conditions of the wetlands in Bereg and Bereg, to increase the efficiency of water retention, to create new water retention structures and recharges, to renovate the pipeline of the water replacement system, to modernise and/or replace water replacement pumps in order to reduce its operating costs and to increase operational efficiency. The sites affected by the planned habitat reconstructions are habitat types of outstanding conservation value, and by improving and eliminating the degradation of habitats we can ensure the long-term conservation of a number of protected and highly protected species. After the completion of the project, the favourable status of other areas of the national park can be maintained in a much safer and simpler way through the management of nature conservation in other areas of the national park for decades.
