Dam on the Tisa

The dam on the Tisa near Novi Bečej was built in 1977 and it is the largest structure within the Hs DTD hydro-system. The dam has got seven influent fields and vessel lock for vessels with  he carrying capacity of up to 1000 tons. Its construction and rising of the level of the river Tisa upstream from  it enabled gravitational intake, i.e. supply of the Banat section of the Hs DTD with water. The dam separates the Tisa riverbed for high waters in the length of 520 m. The highway bridge was designed on the piles of the dams as the transport connection between Banat and Bačka.

Bridges

Many transportation routes were disrupted due to the construction of the Hs DTD. That is why 86 new bridges were built  – 64 highway, 21 railroad and one pedestrian bridge. Their length depended on the canal width and their width was determined by the road category.  The lower edge of construction was designed to enables navigation, but also designed to be mobile, such as electric, mobile steel or wooden pontoon bridges.

Pump stations

There are six big pump stations of the main canal network of the Danube-Tisa-Danube Hydro- system and they serve to supply the Canal with water when it is not possible to do up to a sufficient extent by means of gravity. They also serve to discharge excess water from the Canal network and to regulate water level.

Bezdan I Pump Station

It was built in 1953 when the insufficiently used equipment of the pump station Opovo was dismantled  and installed in Bezdan. It’s capacity is 6 m³/sec. The pump station pumps water from the Danube, through Baračka arm and an inflow canal. It served for supply of the canal with water in cases when its gravitational inflow was not sufficient. It is not in function since 1956.

Bezdan II

It was built in 1957 and it is located directly beside Bezdan I Pump station at the Danube defence dike. The pump has got three aggregates with the capacity of 4 m³/sec.  The pump is reversible with dual function: in periods of water shortage it supplies the Vrbas- Bezdan Canal with water from the Danube while in periods of high waters it transfers excess water from the Canal into the Danube. It shares the intake canal up to Baračka arm with Bezdan I Pump station.

Bogojevo

It was built in 1972  in the vicinity of Bogojevo Lock, at the widened plateau of the Danube defence dike. The pump station is reversible  with dual function. It has got three  aggregates with capacity of 5 m³/sec each that supply the Hs DTD canals with water from the Danube in periods when quantities are not sufficient for gravitational inflow. It is also used to take excess water from south Bačka from the Canal into the Danube  (10 m³/sec).

Bečej

The works on the pump station Bečej were completed in 1968. It is located along the route of the right defence  dike on the river Tisa. It is connected with an open  intake canal.  Two aggregates with the capacity of 10 m³/sec each were installed. The purpose of this pump station is to eliminate excess waters of south Bačka from the Hs DTD network and transfer them into the river Tisa. There is no possibility of gravitational discharge of water into the river Tisa.

Žabalj

The works were completed  in 1963. The Pump station Žabalj is located at the cross- section of Jegrička Canal with the Tisa defence dike, at a widened dike plateau.  Tow aggregates with the capacity of 8 m³/sec were installed. The pump station serves for discharge of excess waters from the Hs DTD canal network into the river Tisa. In periods of low water level in the Tisa the gravitational discharge is also possible.

Pančevo

The pump station in Pančevo belongs to Pančevo hydro-knot and it is located at the confluence of the river Tamiš into thte Danube. It serves for discharge of excess waters, regulation of water level in the Tamiš upstream from Pančevo up to Opovo sluice. Together with sluices of Opovo and Čenta it protects the bank area of the lower Tamiš against detrimental impact of the He “Djerdap”.
