In the time of the Roman Empire, the region west of the Danube river was known as Pannonia.
This supposed tendency unexpectedly reversed in 2006 when the two main rivers, the Danube and the Tisza flooded at the same time.
It made hundreds of homes uninhabitable despite the hard work of the defenders who reinforced most sections of the rivers with sandbags (with the help of university students and the army of Hungary ("Honvédség")).

The largest is the Zala River watershed, occupying 50.4% of the total area and belonging territorially to four administrative counties: Somogy (34.2%), Vas (9.7%), Veszprém (19.8%) and Zala (36.3%).
With the exception of the Zala River, where daily TP and TN measurements and weekly observation records are available for 15 years, determinations of the magnitude of nutrient loads have been rather uncertain (Jolánkai and Somlyódy, 1981).
This area upstream of the present mouth of the Zala River formed a bay of Lake Balaton, which was drained when the Sió canal was opened in 1863, dropping the water level of the lake by 3 m.

And because Zala Springs Resort is open all year round, most of these activities are available through the winter together with skiing and ice skating on the 4 acre lake.

 Lake Balaton, Hungary
Measuring 77km (48mi.) in length and up to 14km (9mi.) in width, and fed mainly with water from the Zala river and the karst springs in the Tapolca region, the lake was formed at the end of the Pleistocene period, some 20,000-22,000 years ago, as the result of structural sinking of the earth's crust.
With an average depth of 3-4m (10-13ft), the bed of the lake is comparatively flat (measuring only 12.4m (41ft) at its deepest point, near the Tihany peninsula, in the Tihany Spring), has dried out completely twice during its existence, mainly because of the relatively small amount of water it contains, i.e.

 The Slovenes - history of the nation
In 803, Church territory was divided along the Drava (Drau) River between the Salzburg archdiocese and the Patriarchate of Aquileia, a division that remained until the 18th century.
Following the defeat of the Hungarians at Lechfeld in 955, the Bavarians and Karantanija Slovenes settled eastwards to the central Raba, Sotla, Krka, and Kolpa rivers and permanently established the ethnic border between the Slovenes and the Croats and Hungarians.
Slovene settlement in Austria waned as early as the 13th century: German colonization reached the Villach Basin in Carinthia, the Graz Basin in Styria, and the Sora River flood plain in Carniola, and Italian colonization dominated the Friulian lowlands.

In the Northern and Western parts of the lake, especially at the inflow of river Zala and the locations of the yacht harbours, metal concentrations were higher in almost all compartments.
Based on the molar ratios of the trace metals in the various compartments and input flows of the lake, several trends could be deduced.
For example, molar ratios of the trace metals in the dissolved and solid (suspended particulate matter and sediments) phases in the lake are fairly similar to those in Zala River.

By the reduction of the water level of the lake the natural wetland called Kis-Balaton, which used to function as a natural filter at the mouth of the main inflow, dried out.
The purpose of this thesis work was to investigate the effects of the Kis-Balaton Water Protection System, which has been only partly reconstructed but has already had significant impact on the nutrient load of the Keszthely-bay via Zala river.
After investigating the 1977-1995 data concerning the most important factors effecting the eutrophication process significantly, it was found that the partly reconstructed Kis-Balaton has had positive impact on the water quality of Zala river and by this means on the water quality of Keszthely-bay.
