According to news wire MTI, the head of the drought defence operative corps noted that the water management sector had around HUF 4.7 billion to implement the drought defence action plan.
This amount will cover tasks that can be carried out immediately, such as dredging canals and cleaning up reservoirs.
Hubai also noted that irrigation water will be provided free of charge to more than 1,300 farmers again this year at the proposal of the minister of agriculture, at a cost of close to HUF 12 bln.
On the reconstruction of the Main Eastern Canal, Hubai said a 40 km stretch of the canal between Tiszalök and Balmazújváros, along with the diversion structures and the Tiszalök dam, will be reconstructed thanks to European Union co-funding.
