Regional Scalability Plan Case Study 9 - Tisza Developing sustainable water management and landscapes in the Tisza Plain Roadmap to 2050

This is the Regional Scalability Plan (RSP) of the activities initiated along the River Tisza in Hungary within the MERLIN project. It is a vision and a roadmap by 2050 to develop sustainable water management and landscapes in the Tisza Plain. The RSP may help ensure that sustainable development processes applied in the pilot areas can be applied throughout the river basin. It contains proposals on how to implement nature based water retention (NWRM), sustainable land use and water-efficiency. This is also a tool for climate resilience: preparing for increasingly extreme weather events, responding to declining surface and groundwater resources and biodiversity degradation. Climate-resilient economic and social development can be a breakthrough for Hungary's hard-hit eastern micro-regions.
