Professionally the local governments can not be made capable of handling the "sewer penalty system" and this must be transferred to county level bodies. The organization structure of "strategic planning" (of the distribution of water resources, of the defence against flood and excess water), which is needed as a basic tool of water management, will soon be established, with the establishment of the regional water management councils. The structure of central and local water management organisation is well established and ready for operation. The ministry KHVM maintains government level relationships for providing funding from the state budget. The National Water Authority OVF fulfills the central operative role of the state towards the district water authorities. Tasks of water management and of defence against water damages are performed by 12 district water authorities, that had been organized on the catchment basin basis. Updating of the whole system has started in 1994 with the issue of the government decree on the reorganization of district water authorities. Service type activities, that can be performed by private companies, have been separated from the district water authorities. The gross economic performance of district water authorities amounts to 5.5 - 6.0 milliard HUF, while the number of public servant staff has been reduced by 40%, by about 4,000 employees (Table I.). In order to consistently proceed with the updating of water management administration the Ministerial Collegium of KHVM has decided the modernization of the tasks and field of competence of OVF, converting also the flood defence organization ABKSZ into a public company. The number of state employees has thus been further reduced with 160 people. Consequently the procedure of adapting the system of organizations to the given conditions is an ongoing process. In the process of updating the state administration it would be unjustifiable to change the catchment basin oriented structure of local organizations. The unified character of the water management administration must be preserved form many reasons of cardinal importance, among which the saving and securing of the capability for responsible action in flood defence and excess water control is one of the most important ones. This is the interest of not the water management administration alone, but of the national economy as a whole. * * * Lage und Aufgaben des wasserwirtschaftlichen Dienstes von Dr.-Ing. Lajos SZLÁVIK und Dipl.-Ing. Gyula REICH In der nach Verabschiedung des neuen Wassergesetzes (Gesetz Nr. LVII/1995) entstandenen neuen Situatuion werden die bei der Lösung von staatlichen wasserwirtschaftlichen Aufgaben und deren Leitung auf Landesebene gewonnenen Erfahrungen zusammengefaßt, wobei auch der Aufgaben- und Kompetenzkreis des gegenwärtigen Institutionssytems analysiert wird. Eingebettet in diese Analyse werden die Hauptrichtungen der zukünftigen Entwicklung und die notwendigen Maßnahmen skizziert. Die gesellschaftliche Arbeitsteilung der mit der Wasserwirtschaft und dem Wasserwesen zusammenhängenden Arbeiten hat sich in Ungarn als Ergebnis einer jahrhundertlangen Entwicklung gebildet. Seit 1990 kam es zu wesentlichen Veränderungen, die zum Abbau der patemalisierenden Aufgabenübernahme des Staates notweindig sind. Das wesentlichste Ereignis dieses Prozesses ist die Verabschiedung des Gesetzes Nr. LVIU1995 über die Wasserwirtschaft
