between some technical and economic characteristics, e. g. the costs of transportation, associated with the three main sectors of transportation seems to be expedient. On this subject detailed data are given in the chajpter. In the section dealing with the characteristics of the Hungarian waterways those of general nature are described first, specifically the conditions of navigation, the obstructions and restricting factors, and their classification within the European system of waterways. Draft restrictions and the factors aimpairing the full use of cargo space, further those influencing and controlling the volume of traffic are consedered in detail. The study of the impacts of river barrages on navigation includes also an analysis of their favourable and adverse effects. The theoretical and practical locking capacities of the locks on the Danube are evaluated (Table D. XIII) and compared with the traffic potential of the channel itself (Fig. D. 20). The interrelations between navigation and hydropower development are examined with special regard to the impacts of peak-load operation. Reference is made to the improvement envisaged for the domestic waterways, within the complex development pattern of water management. The ports in Hungary are reviewed in separate section without claim at completeness, of course, since these are dealt with in the books published in 1971 and 1974 under the titles River ports and Lake ports, respectively, by the National Water Authority and the Budapest University of Technology. These books contain descriptions of the ports detiled enough to meet all requirements. A further section deals with the means of water traffic, the development of towing and propulsion system and, in this context with that, the development of vessels. The economics of cargo re-handling are analyzed. The work of marking the navigation channel is also mentioned. Waterways is Hungary constitute an organic part of the European system of waterways. After a brief description of the networks in Western and Eastern Europe the links towards West and East, are outlined starting from Budapest. In order to develop navigation, it is essential to improve the connections to the railroads and highways i.e. to reduce the demand for time and manpower of cargo rehandling. In domestic traffic the introduction of containerized transport seems to offer a potential solution. 721 )
