    Elevation profile of the watercourse

    How the watercourse falls downstream: fall, gradient and water speed.

    Very slow watercourse A lowland, almost stagnant section: calm, often more turbid water; the bottom tends to be muddy and sandy. Typical of carp fishing districts.

    SinuositySinuosityThe length of the watercourse divided by the straight-line distance between its ends. 1.0 is a straight watercourse; above 1.3 it meanders strongly. Meanders create pools under the banks and shallows in the reaches between.

    Water pollution on the Danube watercourse

    Water quality according to SHMÚ, wastewater treatment plants near the fishing districts and groundwater nearby

    Surface water near the fishing districtsnearest SHMÚ monitoring site, 2025

    5 of 9 of the watercourse's fishing districts with SHMÚ data have an unmet standard at the nearest site in at least one indicator.

    • No unmet standard4
    • 1 to 2 indicators4
    • 3 or more indicators1
    • No SHMÚ data13
    SHMÚ has no data for 13 fishing districts: there is no monitoring site with the same name near their watercourse.

    Source: SHMÚ (yearbooks on surface and groundwater quality), the register of wastewater treatment plants from VÚVH and the EEA. A SHMÚ site is assigned to a fishing district by the same watercourse name and by distance; the yearbook lists the sites that failed the standard, so a missing site is not proof of clean water.
