Zagyva

Zagyva is a river in Hungary, located in the northern part of the Great Hungarian Plain. It is a right-bank tributary of the Tisza River. The Zagyva originates in the Mátra Mountains and flows through several counties, including Nógrád and Heves, before emptying into the Tisza near Szolnok. The river's length is approximately 170 kilometers.

The Zagyva basin is characterized by agricultural land and some forested areas. Historically, the river has played a role in regional settlement and water management. Its flow can vary significantly depending on rainfall and snowmelt. The Zagyva is not a major navigable waterway but is of ecological importance to the surrounding regions. Its waters support various flora and fauna. The river's course has been altered in places due to human intervention for flood control and land reclamation. Towns and villages situated along its banks rely on it for water resources and recreation.
