The Gabčíkovo-Nagymaros Waterworks System was designed and built to fulfil a number of purposes on the stretch of the Danube from Bratislava to Budapest and on its adjacent rivers and territories. After Hungary withdrew from the 1977 contract, the Gabčíkovo Waterworks was built as an alternative solution and became operational in 1992.
