In the first part of this article, attention is drawn to the tremendous importance of flood control and protection in Hungary, because of the country’s geographical features, and to the need for development of flood defences, followed by a description of the basic principles of the economic calculations involved in the determination of the rate of development. These calculations are based on recorded direct and indirect damage, estimated damage prevented, and the measured saving in flood-defence costs. In the second part, it is shown from experience of major floods during the last fifteen years various hydraulic, biological and chemical effects have caused visible signs of "ageing" of levee materials and the subsoil, resulting in a lower r...
