KöRöS-éR
(Redirected from Kereš)
The 'Körös-ér' (in Hungarian) or 'Kereš' (in Serbian; also Cyrillic: 'Кереш') is a river in southern Hungary and northern Serbia, a 70 km long right tributary to the Tisa river. It flows entirely within the Bačka region of both Hungary and Serbia (Vojvodina): 27 km in Hungary, 15 km as a border river and 27 km in Serbia.
The Körös-ér springs in the Hungarian part of the Subotička peščara, between the towns of Jánoshalma and Kiskunhalas. It flows to the southeast, more as a series of connected bogs and less as a real river, without almost any settlements on its banks. West of the village of Kelebia, the Körös-ér becomes a border river between Hungary and Serbia.
The Kereš flows on the northern border of the city of Subotica proper, close to its suburbs (most notably, Šupljak) and the Ludoš lake. After the villages of Male Pijace and Velebit, it turns east north of the village of Senćanski Trešnjevac and empties into the Tisa at Adorjan, at an altitude of 76 m. Near the village of Velebit, Kereš flows through the marshy area of Kapetanski Rit.
For some time the municipal government of Kanjiža (to which the mouth of the river belongs) protests about the extreme pollution of the Kereš's water, as it represents the single largest polluter of the Tisa river. Local politicians point at the city government of Subotica, which dumps its waste into the river, as the major culprit for such a bad condition of the river.
The Kereš is neither channeled nor navigable.
