River course

The Tisza River originates in the Carpathians from the Association of Black (right) and White Tisza (left) about 4 kilometers north of the city Rakhov in Ukraine. South of the headwaters in today's Ukraine separates the Romanian Maramureş County from the Ukrainian Transcarpathian Oblast. Initially, the Tisza flows south through narrow mountain valleys and turns to the recording of Viseu, the Iza, the Teresva, Tereblya and Rika west and northwestward over Sighetu Marmaţiei after Chust. After she has left the Túr added and the Somes right Borschawa, it flows from Chop about Tokaj to Szolnok to the southwest. There it turns south. It flows through Csongrád and later Szeged, where the coming of Transylvania Mures flows into the Tisza. Then it flows south to Serbia, where it forms the border between the historical regions of Banat and Backa in today's Vojvodina. It runs parallel to the Danube there, in which she finally opens below of Novi Sad at an average distance of 90 km.

While the Tisza River at high flow rate has a good water quality in the upper reaches, it is in the plane increasingly muddy. The shores are mostly low and swampy due to the frequent flooding. Their width is in Serbia 160 to 320 m. Navigable she is wearing them as well, loads of the Danube at Sziget, for larger vehicles at the Hernádmündung, for steamboats which plied earlier to Tokaj, only at Szolnok, where. The Bácser channel (also called Franzens channel) connects it to the Danube, the Begakanal with the Timis.

For a long time, people have started the reclamation of the Ufermoräste and securing the area from flooding the shore next to the Theißregulierung, but damaged by the incomplete implementation on the other hand the deeper areas. The course of the Tisza is with the bends 966 km, the direct distance from the source of only 467 km. Originally its length was 1429 km by river regulation, especially in the 19th century it was reduced to its present value. Its catchment area covers 146,500 km ². The barrel is quite slow due to the very low gradient; of Namény to the mouth of the water level drops by only 40 m. Floods twice as fast Danube dam up the Theiss far.

In 2000 the river was affected by the Baia Mare cyanide spill from a broken dam.
