Bodrog River

The Bodrog River is a river that flows through eastern Slovakia and northern Hungary. It's a tributary of the Tisza River. The Bodrog is produced in Zempln in eastern Slovakia by the confluence of the rivers Ondava and Latorica. It flows through the Hungarian county Borsod-Abaj-Zemplén until it meets the river Tisza in Tokaj, crossing the Slovak–Hungarian border at the villages of Felsberecki (near Sátoraljajhely).

In Hungary and Streda nad Bodrogom in Slovakia, where it is also the lowest point in Slovakia (94.3 m AMSL), and continues its flow through the Hungarian county Bor Sárospatak, Hungary, is a town along the river's path. It is 67 kilometers long (15 in Slovakia, 52 in Hungary). It has a watershed area of 13,579 km2, 972 km2 of which is in Hungary.

Fish abound in the Bodrog River. For flood protection and crop production, the upper basin has been intensively drained. The first water cooperatives were formed around 1880. In 1958, four retention reservoirs, 453 kilometers of dikes, 28 pumping stations, and 522 kilometers of drainage canals were built as part of a complex water management plan. This is one of the longest Rivers in Slovakia.
