Count Claudius Florimund Mercy led the<br />
channeling of Bega under the technical<br />
supervision of military professionals in the<br />
years 1727-1733. That was a huge technical<br />
achievement for its time. By dehumidifying<br />
the swamps, the Banat Heath became a very<br />
fertile farmland.<br />
The area around <strong>Timisoara</strong> was very boggy<br />
at this time, so the construction and<br />
regulation of Bega was finally also the<br />
reclamation of the land. This also led to the<br />
termination of Malaria, against the settlers of<br />
this region had to fight.<br />
Over the years, the channel has been<br />
extended and always repaired. In 1958 the<br />
ship traffic with the neighboring states was<br />
stopped, and in 1967 the entire commercial<br />
use of the channel ceased.<br />
Since 2011, the channel is partially navigable<br />
and finishing work is in progress. If the<br />
channel starts operating again, <strong>Timisoara</strong> will<br />
become a port of the Pan-European Corridor<br />
VII. <strong>Timisoara</strong> would be connected to other<br />
harbors from the North Sea to the Black Sea.<br />
