Balaton beach season in danger? The water level is too low!
Change language:
The water level of Lake Balaton is 12 centimetres below the ideal figures. If there is not enough rainfall in the next period, it will be a difficult summer for both the lake’s wildlife and holidaymakers. Going to the beach and renting a boat can also be at risk due to low water levels.
There is not enough rainfall
The precipitation in April has raised the water level of Lake Balaton by only 2 centimetres so far. At dawn on April 19, the water level in SiĂ³fok was 103 centimetres.
The water level of Lake Balaton is 12 centimetres lower than it should be.
Specialists are preparing for water drainage in May on the SiĂ³ Canal due to boat transport. The original operating water level of Lake Balaton was 100 centimetres. This was raised to 110 centimetres and then to 120 centimetres a few years ago.
From the point of view of water management, the operating water level is the determining factor, as it has a tolerance limit, writes index.hu. However, from an ecological point of view, natural water management is favourable. In this process, despite the low water levels, there is no deterioration in water quality. This is especially good for reeds and birds.
Due to less rainfall in the summer and high evaporation, it is important that the water level in the lake is not low.
This is less important for beachgoers, but it is of paramount importance for sailors. According to experts, the amount of precipitation in the area may increase in the coming period.
God works in Mysterious Ways ///
The Greed & Exploitation – that continues to be evident in and around the Lale Balaton Region, and probability – that due to climatic “Acts of God” – we could see a water level, not conducive to attracting hoilday makers and day tripers to the region, is this a single/message of Devine Intervention, sending a message – of the WRONGS – that just keep coming out in news supported by FACTS, that Lake Baleton – is a place, that has become – just for the Wealthy, Rich and Famous.
It certainly has in the past 5 years – socially divided Hungarian Society, in the affordability of citizens – in the low middle to low earning catagory of income, the pleasures – to day trip or hoilday in the Lake Baleton region.
Greed & Exploitation – and the serious question must be asked, when we have an Economy in Hungary under SEVERE Pressure, downward TRENDING, that no bright lights of change are evident on the horizon, who will continue to support financially the Lake Baleton region ?
It will not be the lower middle class or working class of Hungarians – driven away by – Greed & Exploitation.
