Floods in Hungary on March 2010

The Tisza is the second largest river in Hungary and the longest confluent of the Danube. Despite of last years' river training efforts, there are often floodings along the river. This happened at the end of February and beginning of March 2010, when snow melting and rainfalls resulted in rising water levels. Large areas of agricultural land were flooded. This mapping activity was performed in the context of the GMES Emergency Response Project SAFER with funding from the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme.
