===Drainage basin===

The Tisza River is part of the [[Danube]] River catchment area. It is the tributary with the largest catchment area (~157,000 km<sup>2</sup>). It accounts for more than 19% of the Danube river basin. The Tisza water system is shared by five countries: [[Ukraine]] (8%), [[Slovakia]] (10%), [[Hungary]] (29%), [[Romania]] (46%) and [[Serbia]] (7%).

The 1800–2500 m high ridge of the [[Carpathian Mountains]] create in a semi circle the northern, eastern and southeastern boundary of the Tisza catchment. The western - southwestern reach of the watershed is comparatively low in some places – on its Hungarian and Serbian parts it is almost flat. The area is divided roughly along the centreline by the [[Carpathian Mountains|Carpathians Mountains]], east of which lies the 400–600 m high plateau of the [[Transylvanian Plateau|Transylvanian Basin]], and the plains to the west. The highest summits of the river basin reach 1948 m in the [[Low Tatras]] ([[Kráľova hoľa]]), 2061 m in the [[Chornohora|Chornogora Mountains]] ([[Hoverla]]), 2303 m in the [[Rodna Mountains]] (Pietrosul Rodnei) and even higher in the [[Retezat Mountains]] of the [[Southern Carpathians]] ([[Peleaga]], 2509 m). Areas above elevations higher than 1600 m occupy only 1% of the total; 46% of the territory lies below 200 m. The Tisza River Basin in the [[Slovakia|Slovak Republic]] is predominantly hilly area and the highest mountain peak in [[Kráľova hoľa]] - in the [[Low Tatras|Low Tatras Mountain Range]] at 1948 m. The lowland area lies in the south, forming the northern edge of the [[Great Hungarian Plain|Hungarian Lowland]]. The lowest point in the [[Slovakia|Slovak Republic]] is the village of [[Streda nad Bodrogom]] in the eastern Slovak lowland (96 m) in the [[Bodrog River]] Basin. The Hungarian and [[Vojvodina]] ([[Serbia]]) part of the Tisza River Basin is a flat area bordered by small ranges of hills and mountains from the north and dominated by the [[Great Hungarian Plain|Hungarian lowland]].<ref name="Tisza River Basin 2007"/>
