	Slovakia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Slovak settlements extended to the northern half of present-day Hungary, while the ethnic composition of present-day Slovakia itself became more diverse due to the arrival of the Germans (from the 13th century), Vlachs (from the 14th century), and Hungarians (from the late Middle Ages).
		Major Slovak rivers, besides the Danube, are the Váh and the Hron.
		The Slovak climate is temperate, with relatively warm summers and cold, cloudy and humid winters.

		With the exception of the alluvial soil along larger rivers, the Hungarian-inhabited plains almost entirely used for agriculture are characterized by meadow soil (southern part of Csallóköz[1], along the river Dudvág and Bodrogköz[2]) and chernozem (northern part of Csallóköz, the regions between Vág-Nyitra and Zsitva-Garam).
		In the Sajó; valley settlements of the Hungarian-inhabited borderland, especially in Rozsnyó and Pelsõc, the percentage of Hungarians is diminishing due to the considerable immigration of Slovaks.

		The resultant length of the flood-protected river comprises 2940 km (out of 4220 km of all Hungarian protected rivers) which forms one of the largest flood protection systems in Europe; larger than Holland's 1500 km, the Po river's 1400 km or the Loire Valley's 480 km.

		Further, WWF stated its concerns that the Slovak critique "only addresses part of the problem affecting groundwater impacts in the area and ignores long-term impacts such as the ecological impacts of the floodplain dynamics."

		The fishery in the Slovak Stretch of the Danube had (before the Danube damming) an exceptional position despite of the fact that the stretch of the Danube river flowing in Slovakia is only 172 km long and represents about 18% of the total water areas of Slovakia.
		According to the statistical data, the average annual catch by angling in the Slovak stretch of Danube was 109.69 MT (metric tons) in 1961-1979 (Fig.
		The cause of the dramatic decrease of the catch is the extinction of the inland delta of Danube and the subsequent loss of spawning grounds, pastures and wintering grounds in the substantial part of this and adjacent stretches of the Danube.

	Quality of Boundary Waters of Poprad and Dunajec Rivers
		In the section of protection of boundary waters against contamination works a Slovakian-Polish Group which is headed, on the Slovak side, by a representative of the Slovak Ministry of Environment, Water Protection Department, and on the Polish side, by a representative of the Polish Ministry of Education, Water Supply Department.
		The quality of the boundary rivers of Poprad and Dunajec is monitored in the mutually agreed monitoring sites in the boundary sections of these rivers.
		This classification was influenced by the results of classification of the basic physical-chemical indicators of quality of water and the microbiologic contamination of the boundary sections of rivers, and partially by a slight alkali reaction of waters, which is related to the natural factors and the human activities in the river basins.

	Central Europe Review - Film: Vlado Balco's Rivers of Babylon
		Rivers of Babylon (1998) is set in the autumn of 1989 "somewhere in Central Europe," although there is no attempt to hide the fact that this "somewhere" is in fact Bratislava.
		Rivers of Babylon, by contrast, is largely shot in down-beat suburban locations with a cool greyness to the palette.
		The anti-hero in question is Racz and the film charts his rise from boiler-stoker to business tycoon, assisted in his progress by equal measures of extreme violence and charisma.

		The term would also include those who worked within an established Slovak literary tradition mindful of the nineteenth-century national revival, who accepted its vision and framework, and who were beholden to the major figures of the Slovak nineteenth and twentieth-century literary canon.
		A further unusual aspect of the third volume of the trilogy is that it is bilingual, since the parts of the novel dealing with the Royal Czech Navy and the action that transpires in Prague are written in Czech.

		The limited abundance of the most valuable fishes is due to the influence of the adverse factors of civilization, especially the waste waters generated by agriculture and industries, public sewage waters and other wastes; damage is also caused by acid rains, especially in northwestern Bohemia, in the vicinity of industrial centres.
		Small water courses are affected by the reclamation of land, bigger rivers are adversely influenced by the fluctuation of the water flow, navigation, manipulation with water level in the reservoirs of hydro-electric power stations and so on.
		Stock material of the diminishing river fish species (nase, vimba bream, barbel, burbot) is produced in suitable sizes on an increasing scale on specialized fish farms.
