The Danube river basin is home to fish species such as pike , zander , huchen , Wels catfish , burbot and tench. However, some of the river's resources have been managed in an environmentally unsustainable manner in the past, leading to damage by pollution, alterations to the channel and major infrastructure development, including large hydropower dams. Especially the parts through Germany and Austria are very popular, which makes it one of the 10 most popular bike trails in Germany.

  • Treating Two 18Th Century Maps of the Danube in Association with Google-Provided Imagery
    ON THE DIGITAL REVIVAL OF HISTORIC CARTOGRAPHY: TREATING TWO 18TH CENTURY MAPS OF THE DANUBE IN ASSOCIATION WITH GOOGLE-PROVIDED IMAGERY Evangelos Livieratos Angeliki Tsorlini Maria Pazarli [email protected] Chrysoula Boutoura Myron Myridis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Faculty of Surveying Engineering University Campus, Box 497 GRE - 541 24 Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The great navigable Danube River (known as the Istros River to the Ancient Greeks and as one of the crucial ends of the Roman Empire northern territories) is an emblematic fluvial feature of the overall European historic and cultural heritage in the large. Originating in the German Black Forest as two small rivers (Brigach and Breg) converging at the town of Donaueschingen, Danube is flowing for almost 2850 km mainly eastwards, passing through ten states (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine) and four European capitals (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade) with embouchure in the west coasts of the Black Sea via the Danube Delta, mainly in Romania. Danube played a profound role in the European political, social, economic and cultural history influencing in a multifold manner the heritage of many European nations, some of those without even a physical connection with the River, as it is the case of the Greeks, to whom the Danube is a reference to their own 18th century Enlightenment movement. Due to Danube’s important role in History, the extensive emphasis to its cartographic depiction was obviously a conditio sine qua non especially in the 17th and 18th century European cartography. In this paper, taking advantage of the modern digital technologies as applied in the recently established domain of cartographic heritage, two important and historically significant 18th century maps of the Danube are comparatively discussed in view also to the reference possibilities available today in relevant studies by the digital maps offered by powerful providers as e.g.

  • Reader – the International Waterway of the Danube
    READER – THE INTERNATIONAL WATERWAY OF THE DANUBE Extract of relevant passages from the „Manual of Danube Navigation”, via donau (2019) and of other relevant sources. Pictures: viadonau in Manual on Danube Navigation (2019), p 79, 106 Danube navigation at a glance 15 Source: viadonau/Thomas Bierbaumer viadonau/Thomas Source: Motor cargo vessel entering the lock at Ybbs-Persenbeug The capacity of the Danube waterway is a key factor within the inland navigation system. It is determined above all by the nautical conditions (meaning the navigability of the waterway with an economically viable draught loaded of the vessels over the course of the year); these factors directly influence the loading capacities of the vessel types in operation. Good nautical conditions and suitable, ongoing maintenance of the waterway infrastructure allow shipping companies to offer reliable and competitive transport services. This is a significant precondition for the sustained integration of green inland navigation within the logistical concepts of a modern economy. Danube ports Inland ports enable the combination of the transport modes waterway, road and rail. Working in multimodal logistics chains, rail and road act as partners to water- way transport by enabling the pre- and end-haulage of inland navigation transports. The ports are the important interfaces in this regard. Over recent decades, the Danube ports have underwent profound transformation from conventional inland ports to modern logistics hubs. In addition to basic ser- vices such as transhipment and storage, ports offer an extensive range of logistics services, including commissioning, distribution, project logistics and many more. As production sites as well as cargo collection and distribution centers, they are extremely well integrated into regional economies and contribute substantially to economic growth and the creation of employment.

  • Bitterling Populations in the Sighişoara-Târnava Mare Natura 2000 Site

ADONIS:CE is applied commonly for business processes modelling, however, in this study case was applied in an ecology/biology sphere of interest. The authors acquired a Bitterling model which contained all of the identified habitat species’ necessities, the specific indicators that give good preservation status and the present pressures and threats. The keeping of the riverbed morphodynamics is especially necessary – the meanders existence is significant for the aquatic mollusc species which are existing in the inner U shape sectors of the lotic systems. The sectors, where the sand and mud are relatively fixed, give appropriate habitats for molluscs which is valuable for the reproduction of Bitterling. The preserving of the present water oxygenation and regime of liquid flows, and the prevention of the sediments deposition rate in the aquatic habitats are needed too for the molluscs’ existence. The sediments exploitation in these lotic systems should be realised in relation with the natural rate of renewal and at sites at a distance over five km between them.

  • Long-Term Trends in Water Quality Indices in the Lower Danube and Tributaries in Romania (1996–2017)
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Long-Term Trends in Water Quality Indices in the Lower Danube and Tributaries in Romania (1996–2017) Rodica-Mihaela Frîncu 1,2 1 National Institute for Research and Development in Chemistry and Petrochemistry—ICECHIM, 202 Splaiul Independentei, 060021 Bucharest, Romania; [email protected]; Tel.: +40-21-315-3299 2 INCDCP ICECHIM Calarasi Branch, 2A Ion Luca Caragiale St., 910060 Calarasi, Romania Abstract: The Danube River is the second longest in Europe and its water quality is important for the communities relying on it, but also for supporting biodiversity in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, a site with high ecological value. This paper presents a methodology for assessing water quality and long-term trends based on water quality indices (WQI), calculated using the weighted arithmetic method, for 15 monitoring stations in the Lower Danube and Danube tributaries in Romania, based on annual means of 10 parameters for the period 1996–2017. A trend analysis is carried out to see how WQIs evolved during the studied period at each station. Principal component analysis (PCA) is applied on sub-indices to highlight which parameters have the highest contributions to WQI values, and to identify correlations between parameters. Factor analysis is used to highlight differences between locations. The results show that water quality has improved significantly at most stations during the studied period, but pollution is higher in some Romanian tributaries than in the Danube. The parameters with the highest contribution to WQI are ammonium and total phosphorus, suggesting the need to continue improving wastewater treatment in the studied area.

  • Vina Croatia
    Wines of CROATIA unique and exciting Croatia as a AUSTRIA modern country HUNGARY SLOVENIA CROATIA Croatia, having been eager to experience immediate changes, success and recognition, has, at the beginning of a new decade, totally altered its approach to life and business. A strong desire to earn quick money as well as rapid trade expansion have been replaced by more moderate, longer-term investment projects in the areas of viticulture, rural tourism, family hotels, fisheries, olive growing, ecological agriculture and superior restaurants. BOSNIA & The strong first impression of international brands has been replaced by turning to traditional HERZEGOVINA products, having their origins in a deep historic heritage. The expansion of fast-food chains was brought to a halt in the mid-1990’s as multinational companies understood that investment would not be returned as quickly as had been planned. More ambitious restaurants transformed into centres of hedonism, whereas small, thematic ones offering several fresh and well-prepared dishes are visited every day. Tradition and a return to nature are now popular ITALY Viticulture has been fully developed. Having superior technology at their disposal, a new generation of well-educated winemakers show firm personal convictions and aims with clear goals. The rapid growth of international wine varietals has been hindered while local varietals that were almost on the verge of extinction, have gradually gained in importance. Not only have the most prominent European regions shared their experience, but the world’s renowned wine experts have offered their consulting services. Biodynamic movement has been very brisk with every wine region bursting with life.

  • Wo Entspringt Die Donau Wirklich?
    Wo entspringt die Donau wirklich? Neues Ö l ins Feuer einer Jahrhunderte alten Diskussion Die Donaueschinger und die Furtwanger haben ein Problem miteinander! Sie streiten um nicht mehr und nicht weniger als um den Besitz der Donauquelle. Beide haben namhafte Wissenschaftler auf ihrer Seite, die aus der Erforschung der wahren Do- nauquelle teilweise sogar ein Lebenswerk machten. Dabei ließen sie die Querschüsse aus Österreich, die den Inn als Quellfluss der Donau bezeichneten, einfach unbeach- tet. Genauso wie lokalpatriotisch gefärbte Behauptungen, die sogar die Brigach als Quellfluss der Donau ins Spiel brachten. Aber jetzt das! - eine Hypothese Da behauptet plötzlich eine kleine , aufmüpfige Schar von Hobbygeologen und Hei- matforschern aus dem Kreis Tuttlingen, der Krähenbach, der bei Möhringen von Nor- den her in die Donau fließt, sei der Quellfluss der Donau. Der Krähenbach, der höchst unspektakulär als Rinnsal aus einem Waldstück unweit der Mülldeponie Tu- ningen entspringt und dann maximal in den Ausmaßen eines Mühlenkanals das zu- gegebenermaßen meist trockene Flussbett der jungen Donau speist, der soll Ur- sprung der berühmten Donau sein? Die Brigach Sie ist der etwas kleinere der beiden Quellflüsse der Donau und wird in der Diskussi- on meist übergangen. Zwar entspringt sie genau 138 m tiefer als die Bregquelle “nur“ im Keller eines Bauernhaus bei St. Georgen im Schwarzwald, doch ist sie mit ihren 43 Kilometern Länge gerade mal 6 Kilometer Kürzer als ihre größere Schwester. Ohne sie wären die Stadtbilder von Donaueschingen und Villingen deutlich ärmer. Zwischen Villingen und Donaueschingen hat sie sich über Millionen von Jahren ein wunderschönes Tal geschaff en, nach dem die darin wohnenden Menschen ihre Ge- meinde benannt haben (" Brigachtäler ") .

  • Exceptional Floods in the Prut Basin, Romania, in the Context of Heavy
    1 Exceptional floods in the Prut basin, Romania, in the context of 2 heavy rains in the summer of 2010 3 4 Gheorghe Romanescu1, Cristian Constantin Stoleriu 5 Alexandru Ioan Cuza, University of Iasi, Faculty of Geography and Geology, Department of 6 Geography, Bd. Carol I, 20 A, 700505 Iasi, Romania 7 8 Abstract. The year 2010 was characterized by devastating flooding in Central and Eastern 9 Europe, including Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. This 10 study focuses on floods that occurred during the summer of 2010 in the Prut River basin, 11 which has a high percentage of hydrotechnical infrastructure. Strong floods occurred in 12 eastern Romania on the Prut River, which borders the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, and 13 the Siret River. Atmospheric instability from 21 June-1 July 2010 caused significant amounts 14 of rain, with rates of 51.2 mm/50 min and 42.0 mm/30 min. In the middle Prut basin, there are 15 numerous ponds that help mitigate floods as well as provide water for animals, irrigation, and 16 so forth. The peak discharge of the Prut River during the summer of 2010 was 2,310 m3/s at 17 the Radauti Prut gauging station. High discharges were also recorded on downstream 18 tributaries, including the Baseu, Jijia, and Miletin. High discharges downstream occurred 19 because of water from the middle basin and the backwater from the Danube (a historic 20 discharge of 16,300 m3/s). The floods that occurred in the Prut basin in the summer of 2010 21 could not be controlled completely because the discharges far exceeded foreseen values.

    Danube Facts and Figures: Ukraine Danube Facts and Figures Ukraine (September 2015) General Overview Three sub-basins of the Danube are partly located in Ukraine - the Tisza, Prut and Siret basins, as well as part of the Danube Delta. Furthermore, 2.7 million people live in the Ukrainian part of the Danube Basin, which is 3.3% of the total Danube Basin District. Ukraine has been a Signatory State to the Danube River Protection Convention since 1994. The Convention was ratified by the Ukrainian Parliament in 2002 and is now a law. Topography The largest part of the Tisza Basin is located in the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains, which are middle-height mountains of 1,000 to 1,200 metres above sea level - the highest peaks reach 2,000 metres. The main mountain ranges are located longitudinally from north-west to south-east and divided by transverse river valleys. One third of the Tisza Basin is located in the Zakarpattya Lowland, which forms part of the Great Hungarian Plain and the Pannonian Plain, with dominating heights of 120-180 metres above sea-level. Like the Tisza Basin, the Prut and Siret Basins are located mainly in the Ukrainian Carpathians, but in the eastern hills. The source of the Prut is in the Chernogora Mountains at around 1,600 metres above sea-level. The total area of the sub- basins is 30,520km 2, which makes up only 3.8% of the total Danube Basin area and 5.4% of the Ukrainian territory. The Danube itself comes through the lower part of Ukraine; its length in the mouth is 174km.
