As a participant in the LIFE LOGOS 4 WATERS project, Bátya village (Danube-Tisza Interfluve, Hungary) is committed to climate resilient water management and water retention at the municipal level. This year, water played an important role at the traditional annual Family Picnic in the village.
Our research group was invited to the event. Young colleagues Tamara Tóthi and Soma Oláh participated together with the DUNAKÉKE Association, using the Model of Invisible and Visible Waters to enrich their presentation about the subsurface processes of the water cycle, human activities that threaten water resources, and the effects of climate change. In addition, the local water challenges in Bátya and the Danube-Tisza Interfluve, the results of ELTE’s local hydrogeological research and possible climate change adaptation solutions were also discussed with local families, farmers and children.
Participation took place in the framework of the cooperation between the Municipality of Bátya and the Multidisciplinary National Laboratory for Climate Change RRF-2.3.1-21-2022-00014 project.
