Climate: Continental — Great Hungarian Plain (Alföld) faces acute summer drought and aridification · Evaporation: 700–1,000 mm/year (Alföld) · Water stress: high
Hungarian agricultural operators (Alföld irrigation), water utilities, and biogas operators deploy hexagonal floating covers for evaporation control, algae suppression, and operational benefits. The Hungarian Great Plain (Alföld) faces accelerating aridification, making reservoir storage and water-loss reduction strategic priorities.
Hungarian water context
The Alföld (Great Hungarian Plain) is one of the most rapidly aridifying regions in central Europe. Open reservoir storage loses substantial volume per year to evaporation through the irrigation season. Floating covers preserve that capacity.
