Strossmayer in 1876. and in that time it severed only a small purpose in mostly protection against the harmful effects of water (such as flooding) due to the nature of the whole eastern part of Croatia (Slavonija). At that time, most of the regions were flooded regularly and only a handful of people intervened, where throughout the time the first association was created and for the first time flood control and drainage has been established. This lead to bigger agricultural development since the main risk of flooding has been eliminated, so the local economy started seeing it's better days.
