Hungary has long been known as a country rich in water. Yet today, droughts, shrinking lakes, and increasingly severe floods are becoming more frequent. How can these two realities coexist? What does responsible water management mean in the face of climate change, and what role does civil engineering play in shaping resilient solutions?

In this episode, we follow the journey of water across the Carpathian Basin—from rivers and lakes to the engineering solutions that help communities adapt to a changing climate. The conversation explores water retention, the legacy of river regulation, landmark projects on the Danube and the Tisza, and the ways in which natural processes can be integrated with modern infrastructure.

Our guests are Péter Udud, CEO of Aquaprofit, hydrogeologist and water management expert, and Attila Pappert, Head of Water Construction and Hydraulic Engineering Business Line. Drawing on decades of professional experience, they explain how water can become not only one of our greatest natural resources but also one of the key building blocks of a sustainable future. The discussion is hosted by Kriszta Bombera.
