The current water management systems cannot effectively cope with the increasingly extreme rainfall, floods and droughts in Hungary, so a paradigm shift is needed, the authors state in their article published on Monday on the Másfélfok (One and a Half Degree) – Climate Change page.

“We need to think in complex, integrated water management systems, in which nature-based solutions play a key role in restoring and strengthening the water-retaining capacity of soil, forests, grasslands and wetlands,” the authors (Kis Anna, Szabó Amanda Imola, Pieczka Ildikó, Lehoczky Annamária, Vigh Péter) summarize the effects of climate change.
