The focus of my research is one of the valleys of Wine Region of Szekszárd, called Csatári-valley. This area plays a major role in the production of excellent Hungarian wine. Hence the protection and sustainment of this agricultural area are very important.
My suggestion is to make lakes by swelling back the water of this stream. I examined the workability of this with stream gauging, water and soil analyses also with soil erosion estimation. As an addition, I recommend improvements against soil erosion. If my suggestions will be developed, then the valley would have a safer, more stable water management.
The increasingly extreme weather, the rashly rain and its runoff will not provide harmony in the next decades. Unfortunately, few people deal with the question of water management or drainage. What can be done for our local environment? These questions motivated my research, especially as it involves my hometown, Szekszárd.
