water.europa.eu

Finalised end 2009 First comprehensive plan Includes status of large water bodies Focus on identified significant water management issues Joint Programme of Measures To be read in conjunction with national plans International Danube Plan

water.europa.eu Organic Pollution Nutrient Pollution Hazardous Substances Pollution Hydromorphological Alterations International Danube Plan Significant Water Management Issues

water.europa.eu Key results 30 % of Danube water bodies in good status 40 % of Danube water bodies is heavily modified Organic pollution: significant reduction due to construction of Urban Waste Water Treatment Plants – but more efforts needed Nutrient pollution: significant reduction (see above), but load to Black Sea remain 40% above 1960 level – limitation of P in detergents is cost-effective measure Hydromorphology: 10 % of flood plains with reconnection potential reconnected in 2015, 15 % of continuity interruptions will be addressed by future infrastructure projects are reported to be constructed in the coming years

water.europa.eu Key elements for follow-up Use the information and building blocks in the River Basin Management Plans Take aquatic environment into account in future infrastructure projects for navigation, hydropower, flood protection Focus on river basin wide fish migration, e.g. sturgeon Apply Joint Statement on Inland Navigation and Environmental Protection Ensure that current and future agriculture developments are in line with integrated river basin management approach Take future climate changes into account
