Water use

The following data characterize the extent and modalities of water abstraction and use.

Essentially dependent on rainfall, water consumption is affected by the irrigable land rate, gradually increasing in recent years. A high number of unsustainable trends can be observed in this area as well: the Orbán government has legalized drilling unauthorized underground water wells and artesian, while failing to take any steps to disseminate water saving irrigation technologies (drip irrigation or other technologies). Meanwhile, even the water strategy of the Orbán government deems untenable the current situation, characterized by regular flooding and inland inundation on the one hand, and recurring droughts (as well as wasteful water use practices in irrigated areas) on the other hand.
