    The Gabčíkovo power plant is a run-of-river power plant in Slovakia at river kilometer 1836 and uses the hydroelectric power of the Danube. It is the largest hydroelectric power plant in Slovakia and generates around 11% of the national electricity requirement.
    As early as 1947 Stalin wanted to make the shallow alluvial plain between Győr and Bratislava navigable all year round. A canal was intended to enable Soviet warships to reach the borders of what was then the Eastern Bloc. In the 1950s, the first plans were drawn up but never realised.

    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.
