Sources other than the competent authorities have been clearly identified in the Plan. A more detailed level of information is presented in the national Flood Risk Management Plans. Hence, the Flood Risk Management Plan for the Danube River Basin District should be read and interpreted in conjunction with the national Flood Risk Management Plans. The data in this report has been dealt with, and is presented, to the best of our knowledge. Nevertheless inconsistencies cannot be ruled out. In this report the terminology of the EU Flood Directive was applied by the authors. In a common language the “low probability” scenarios should be considered as events that are very rare, and would maybe happen once in a human lifetime. “Medium probability” events usually mean “100-year floods”, which could happen once (or even more often) in the same generation cycle. The so called “high probability” events are quite common compared to the before mentioned ones, since they can be experienced several times during a lifetime. The statistical probability expresses the uncertainty of the time frame of the flood phenomena, hence these events can happen in many years but also tomorrow. The flood experts in the Danube River Basin work continuously on being prepared for the projected conditions.
