Vienna, 14 June 2011. The ICPDR published a new brochure that gives an overview on the Danube River Basin last week. The publication is not limited to environmental issues alone, but includes facts and figures on a range of topics. It is distributed through the ICPDR and its contracting parties and provided for download below.

The Prut River Basin comes into focus this year with greater attention from
Ukraine’s ICPDR Presidency and the three Prut countries working together to
create a sub-basin plan for the second-longest tributary of the Danube.

A proposed regulation would uniformly
limit phosphorous compounds in laundry
detergents, resulting in a major
reduction of pollution loads to the Danube
River and beyond to the Black Sea.

With the new sub-basin management plan for the Tisza, the Tisza Group and the
countries of the Tisza River Basin have achieved significant progress and an outstanding
example of cooperation.

While flood risk management means cooperative planning, countries
around the region are putting ideas into action to protect themselves
against threatening waters.

Nature and time combine in one of the
most beautiful national parks in Europe
with one of the oldest geologic histories.
The unique biodiversity of the area
shares space with the permanent relics
of eight thousand years of culture
along the Danube.

A new game puts the Danube Basin and its natural and cultural treasures in the
spotlight and gives players the incentive to spend time exploring the river – proving
that learning doesn’t have to be boring.
