The project is a continuation of a long tradition of successful co-operation of water management services and environment protection authorities from the border area. Within the latest jointly elaborated project, the partners plan to bring new life to another extremely valuable natural area in the region – the border space including Aljmaški Rit on the Croatian side and Drávakeresztúr on the Hungarian side. The rehabilitation of these two sites is not only of great importance for the life of the river but also for the quality of life of the population living in the area, for the overall attractiveness of the region and for the raising of its tourist potential.
