| Résumé anglais |
The development scheme of Gabcikovo-Nagymaros on the Hungarian and Czechoslovakian section of the Danube River consists of a reservoir (Hrusov), a by-passed section equipped for navigation and energy supply (Gabcikovo), and a downstream compensation dam (Nagymaros). This present development has been preceded by an embankment phase (15th-19th century) and a Girardon-type fluvial rectification (19th- 20th century), which stabilized the Danube Channel (on an alluvial fan built on a slope break at the exit of the alpine section) and improved navigational conditions. However, this former activity did not permit the movement of barges such that this section constituted a gap in a system that could be extended to the Rhine River system and possibly into Poland. In face of these international considerations, the Hungarian opinion remains sensitive to boundary questions and to the quality of the fluvial environment upstream of Budapest. Indeed, the fluvial system will experience an appreciable degradation induced by changes in the flow conditions, by the alteration of a very valuable alluvial forest, by the reduction of aquatic biomass (particularly fish) and a degradation of water quality.
