Hiding sea

Few people know that wonderful, crystal-clear karst water flows under the Transdanubian Mountains, deep in the earth. It feeds the thermal baths of Budapest, Lake Hévíz, the Tata and Esztergom springs. The book is not only about these waters, which are our national treasures, but also about karst water disasters, showing and documenting in contemporary writing the period when water was pumped out due to coal and bauxite mining in the second half of the 20th century, causing our resources to dry up. destroyed, the population struggled with a shortage of drinking water. Relying on the four-year research work of András Nyírő's doctoral dissertation, he followed in the footsteps of the hiding sea, visited the sources, and talked to museologists, engineers, hydrologists, geologists and locals. With its spectacular photographic world and twisting stories, the album brings the world of karst waters close to readers.
