The area the project focused on is the 48 km long border stretch on the Mura river, shared by the two countries. There is often flooding on this section and the water has caused significant damage on both sides in the past, this is why the partners came together to strengthen the cooperation between the water management authorities in order to minimize the potential damage to people and property. During the project the flood forecasting model, developed more than a decade ago by the four countries affected by it (Austria, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia) has been upgraded by the freshest data, collected by the newly installed equipment in order to raise the level of preparedness in the Hungary-Croatia border section.
