    The Gabčíkovo Reservoir (Slovak: Vodné dielo Gabčíkovo) is a colossal hydraulic engineering project on the Danube, which is much more than just a simple lake. It is the scene of one of the longest legal disputes in European history and a technical heavyweight.

    The Gabčíkovo power plant is a run-of-river hydroelectric power plant in Slovakia at river kilometer 1836, utilizing the water power of the Danube. It is Slovakia's largest hydroelectric power plant and generates around 11% of the national electricity demand.
    As early as 1947, Stalin wanted to make the shallow floodplain between Győr and Bratislava navigable year-round. A canal was intended to enable Soviet warships to reach the borders of the then Eastern Bloc. In the 1950s, the first plans were drawn up but not realized.
