Effluents of municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) contribute to surface water pollution, especially when large plants discharge into rivers with smaller flow values. Recognizing this, the EU has launched the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD), aiming at protecting valuable freshwater resources. After achieving much success, but n...
The alluvial character of the Great Hungarian Plain has long determined its land use. Human-environmental interactions and landscale patterns were characterised by adaptation to frequent floods and high water availability. Different socio-economical factors in the 18-19th centuries initiated major drainage works and river regulations. These works a...
Background
The European Water Framework Directive foresees the establishment of emission inventories for micropollutants (MP) to facilitate an evidence-based development of mitigation measures. Regionalized pathway analysis constitutes a moderately data-intensive approach to quantify the contribution of different pathways to the total pollution of...
Purpose
According to standard procedure recommended by the Water Framework Directive (WFD), dissolved concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in river water are determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in filtered (0.45 µm) and acidified (pH 2) samples. Properly prepared and stored composite samples can enhanc...
Trace substances represent one of the central challenges for water management in the Danube River Basin. This article presents the concept and an overview of the results of the project Danube Hazard m3c, which was carried out within the framework of the Interreg Danube Transnational Programme of the EU from 2020 to 2023. In the course of the projec...
There is a growing awareness of the fact that chemicals of everyday usage usually end up in the environment resulting in degraded functioning of the ecosystems. In a one-year sampling campaign conducted in four medium sized catchments of the Carpathian Basin: Wulka, Austria (389 km²), Koppány, Hungary (660 km²), Zagyva, Hungary (1200 km²) and Somes...
Szerves és szervetlen anyagok sok évtizede kerülnek a környezetbe; sorsuk és viselkedésük iránt azonban főleg az utóbbi években nőtt meg az érdeklődés, miután fény derült rá, hogy-a környezetbe kikerülve sokuk perzisztens, bioakkumulációra hajlamos és már egész kis koncentrációban is toxikus. Környezeti mintákból való kimutatásuk-részben az alacson...
The pursuit of good management of our waters poses permanent challenges to the whole society. Decision-makers often need to define appropriate and sustainable strategies on interdisciplinary topics, like water management issues. The rapidly evolving quantification and mapping of hydrologic ecosystem services (HES) is putting hydrologic and water ma...
Organic and inorganic substances have been emitted into the environment for many decades; however, the interest in their fate and behavior has grown mainly in recent years. Due partly to the meager amount they are present in environmental compartments such as rainwater, river water, or waste waters, substantial resources are needed to detect their...
In a 1.5-year monitoring program, the rainfall-induced urban runoff was sampled in 8 pilot catchments located in various Hungarian cities. Nutrient (N, P) and heavy metal (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sb, Zn) contamination of the samples was characterized by the mean concentration/load value of each runoff event. In this study, we relate (i) event mean...

Charting the long-term trends in European wheat and maize yields and harvested areas and the relation of yields to climatic and economic drivers, two profound spatial processes become apparent. One consequence of the relatively late modernization of Eastern Europe has been to shift the focus of grain production from West to East. The warming trend...
During the 20th century in the Hungarian lowlands the emphasis was put on maximizing provisioning ecosystem services (ES), which caused the weakening of regulating and other services. With the growing environmental pressures, it is crucial to apply a more adaptive landscape management. This, however, leads to territorial conflicts, as large areas w...
Increasing the efficiency of a surface water quality monitoring system using statistical models
The Water Framework Directive – legislation of the European Union since 2000 – requires regular evaluation of all surface waters in a detailed spatial and temporal resolution. The assessment of water quality status is mostly done based on direct monitori...
Implementation of an extensive urban runoff monitoring program, targeting the quantification of heavy metal and organic micropollutant loads, necessitated the development of an autonomous water sampler. The design requirements for the device were to fulfill flow-proportional continuous composite sampling of urban runoff events in a widely customiza...
With the introduction of the Water Framework Directive, the relative importance of smaller waterways increased. This statement is particularly true for Hungary, where water-quality monitoring of most smaller rivers only began 12 years ago. Due to their large number, and the lack of historical data concerning their state, systematic monitoring is a...
Watershed area and a bunch of relief, land use, and wastewater characteristics for 32 upland and 33 lowland small river courses are generated. Based on these characteristics, logistic binary regression models are trained to predict if the river achieves the good physico-chemical status, and discriminant analysis models are trained to predict the ph...
Hazai domb-és síkvidéki kisvízfolyások vízminősége, és a vízfolyás vízgyűjtőterületének területhasználata közötti összefüggést vizsgáltuk többváltozós adatelemzési módszerekkel. Első lépésben a Víz Keretirányelv előírásainak megfelelően ötosztályú skálán (kiváló … rossz) értékeltük a vizsgálatba bevont kisvízfolyások vízminőségét. Második lépésben...
According to the Water Framework Directive (WFD) evaluation and
classification of each water body is required once in every 6-year period.
Basis for the classification should be monitoring data – or, in the
absence of these expert judgement. Hungary’s water body network
consists of ~1000 water bodies of which ~700 haven’t been monitored
for surface...
Bevezetés A felszíni vízminőségi monitoring hazánkban több, mint fél évszázados múltra tekint vissza (Hock és Schneider, 1986). Az ezredfordulón (1994-2005 között) az MSz 12749 szabvány szerint történt a vízminőségi mintavétel és a felszíni vizek minősítése (Somlyódy és Hock, 2002). Gyökeresen megváltoztatta az évtizedeken keresztül fejlesztett mon...
Water quality models have been under constant development in the last decades. It is a tendency to build robust deterministic models characterized by high data demand in order to get knowledge on non-monitored elements of the stream network. However, based on simple descriptions of the water quality processes many statistical parameters of the conc...
Due to its specific hydrologic/hydro-geologic situation, Hungary is risked by extremities in water resources aggravated by direct and indirect anthropogenic effects and climate change. The mitigation of these risks could only be feasible by means of landscape scale planning. Latter would be advanced by comparing the natural capital of the possible...
