The ammonia content reduced the efficiency of the chlorine sterilization applied in the water plant. The sterilization effect of the resulting mono-chlorine amine is about 1/20 of the nascent chlorine (OCT /HOCI mixture) whereas the THM formation remained active. (Bermann D., 1988, Kreft P., 1985, Kárpáti Z. - Palicska J., 1981 ) The occurrence of iron and manganese in the treated water was typical in every case when the whole surface of the river was frozen. In January 1985 the Mn 2 + ion concentration was 0,7 mg/1 in the distribution network for a couple of days which created damages in the laundries of the medical institutions and in many households. Table 1: The variation of the frequently complained water quality parameters after the technology developments (* Restricted to the duration of solid freezing, ** On the edge of the biological stability) In 10 % of the monitored cases the oxidizable organic content of the potable water did not meet the criteria contained in the relevant standards, by default. The consequences of the higher organic matter content resulted in bacterial stability. According to the results of a few informative tests the absorbable carbon (AOC) is around 100 - 120 |ig/L. The regrowth and the aftergrowht contamination could be prevented only by applying 0,8-1,2 mg/1 chlorine with continuous dosing. This has resulted in the approximately c x > 80 Hg/I THM and c x> 50 ng/1 AOX. In relation with the residual organic matter the presence of toxic organic micro contaminants must also be mentioned. In 1988, the regular GC-MS measurements carried out by the Technology Institution of the University of Debrecen provided factual proof for the presence of biological compounds resulting from the manufacturing of insecticides and their agricultural utilization, from the production of dye stuff, plastics and pharmaceutical materials as well as from oil and lubricant contaminations. [10.] The group indication Daphnia tests showed xenobiotical infections in 10% of the monitored cases. 2.2. Quality of raw water entering into the water plant The catchment area of the Tisza river is 154039 km 2, from which 70% falls outside the boundaries of Hungary. This is a river of moods both in respect of hydrological behavior and water quality. The greatest gauge difference is AH-13,36 m. The flow varies between Q mi n = 65,6 m 3/sec and Q nla x = 2610 mVsec. (Makiéit S. - Dinya Z„ 1988, Kaposvári K., 2000). In the water quality of the Tisza river, the following specific water quality stages can be identified: A) „Standard, typical water quality", which is set by the origin of the water, by the natural components, the steady and regular emissions and the self cleaning processes. A couple of the parameters even of this stage provide ground for the complaints on the water quality. The strange taste and odor effects in the raw water are practically continuous, but their nature varies. The turbidity - apart from a couple of weeks in the summer — is steadily between 20-40 NTU. The amount of oxidizable organic matter (chemical oxygen demand) is 5-10 mg/1, but the absorbable carbon content (AOC) of the chemical oxygen demand always exceeds 100 Hg C/L with using simple treatment - flocculation +filtering - processes. In the evaluation of the raw Tisza water the external primary contaminants can not be ignored. The presence of a few compounds, like nicotine, benzpyrene, penta chlorine phenol, etc. shows the importance of these groups. (,Palicska J. - Csépay F. - Káda GY„ 1983) B) The intermediate water quality statuses are the results of the seasonal processes coming regularly in the life of the river. While the cooling at the end of autumn, the total freezing during winter, the melting and flood waves in springtime and the warming in August-September (26 C°) cause extreme overproduction due to transillumination, these effects result predictable changes in the quality of the raw water - Table 2. However, the processes of a simple treatment technology are not effective enough to reduce the concerned water quality parameters to the acceptable level.

Alga, ZooPlankton C) The emergency and catastrophic situations create unforeseeable type and extent of water quality problems. Unfortunately the occurrence of these cases is factual in the life of the Tisza river. From 1980, 14 foreign originated emergency situations have been occurred which were not receiving even a similar publicity as the one did in 2000 when a foreign cyanide and toxic metal contamination has happened. These emergency quality parameters and situations are typically created by industrial accidents, where usually a few type, but significant amount of material reaches the water and creates a catastrophic situation in the river itself.
