Abstract

The "Trends and challenges in territorial water management" scientific conference was held on 24 May 2023 at the University of Debrecen. The aim of the conference was to identify the problems and possible solutions of Integrated Watershed Management for Tiszántúl (Trans Tisza) region with special focus on the impact area of the Tisza-Körös Valley Cooperative Water Management System (TIKEVIR). Drawing attention to the importance of the topic, based on the results of the conference, the Institute of Water and Environmental Management of the Faculty of Agriculture, Food Sciences and Environmental Management of the University of Debrecen together with other stakeholders such as water suppliers and water users in the Tisza River basin, formulated proposals for the renewal of the water management practices of the TIKEVIR.
