Development of Lake Vican and its surroundings in Heves

The revitalisation of the current state of Vican Lake Heves is planned to be carried out by improving water governance, improving the biological status of the lake, preserving natural values and valuable habitats, reducing or eliminating the danger factors, replacing the landscaped plants with native individuals, eradicating invasive plant species and creating a visitor infrastructure. These are linked to the installation of infrastructure elements that make the lakeside suitable for public use: playground and audition. In the area of the lake, permanent basins and water spaces are planned, where more valuable and complex habitats can be developed and the water safety of the lake protected by local nature protection can be enhanced by the development of complex water governance. The planned development is expected to enrich and diversify the populations of organisms that use the area, which may nest, live and transit there, make water supply safer and thus enrich the local food sources. With the help of the basic visitor infrastructure, the flora and fauna located in the near-nature area can be presented to visitors for both professional and educational purposes. During the planned development, the water governance of the lake will be fully reviewed and water supply from several sources (multiple discharges) will be provided. In addition to water steering, the structures to be constructed help with water retention, ensuring a more even leveling of the water of the lake, thus ensuring a more even depth, intermittent flushability, but avoiding the possibility of overfilling by the solution of excess water. The containment of invasive species and the planting of native species, as well as the settlement of the shore edges of the lake, provide an opportunity for the animals living and transiting in the area to find their breeding, nesting and food-producing areas with great certainty, while the complex life forms can be presented to those interested without interference by using the educational path to be developed. In order to achieve the objective of the project, the following tasks shall be carried out: Improving the water supply of lakes and wetlands along the lake: 1.a) refurbishment and reconstruction of water-governance structures, rehabilitation of the relevant sections of the access channels, 1.b) renovation and modernisation of the structure regulating the introduction of water from the lake at the time of discharge and overflowing water, 1.c) coastal strip, natural coast protection. Restoration and development of wetlands: 2.a) developing a complex medermorphology with the development of aquatic and waterside habitats to increase and stabilise racial diversity, 2.b) conservation and maintenance of natural values, valuable habitats, creation of conditions for a suitable food base, 2.c) mitigation and elimination of threats. Improving the biological status of the lake and the lake environment, with the following sub-activities: 3.a) replacement of non-indigenous plants by native individuals, 3.b) the destruction of invasive plant species. 3.c) planting of trees originally typical of the landscape in the south-east of the lake Establishing a basic visitor infrastructure enabling knowledge of natural values but not damaging natural values: 4.a) installation of a playground, 4.b) construction of educational path, 4.c) basic infrastructure for operation.
