AB  - The Danube is an outstanding river: It links more countries than any other river in the world. The Danube River Basin (DRB) collects waters from the territories of 19 European nations and it forms the international boundaries for eight of these. The river's largely eastward course has served as a corridor for both migration and trade, and a boundary between east and west strongly guarded for thousands of years. The multi-cultural setting makes transboundary issues extremely challenging. In this chapter we characterize and synthesize the natural features of the main river, its 10 major tributaries and the Danube Delta. We present extensive information and data on biodiversity, climate, topography and hydrology. We also describe in detail stressors like land use, sediment regime and (hydro-)morphology alteration, pollution, non-native species introduction or fragmentation by dams and also socio-economic properties. We reflect about their major, adverse consequences for the functioning of river ecosystems in the entire basin. We also introduce river basin authorities such as the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) identified as important and useful platforms for dialogue and debate of appropriate goals and their implementation, involvement of stakeholders and the public, but also as "translators" of scientific results.

Additionally, the chapter contains maps, photographs and data tables that allow in depth analyses of and comparison between physical and biological features of the Danube River Basin and other rivers in Europe.

AB  - Transboundary river-basin management is a challenging task emerging from lack of on-site expert knowledge, high administrative and socioeconomic complexity, various stakeholder interests, and difficulties enforcing international and national law. Therefore, an efficient ‘science–policy interface’ is a crucial ingredient for the successful development and implementation of adequate management strategies. The Danube River Basin (DRB) drains areas of 19 countries with different cultural, political, and environmental legacies. The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) has provided the guiding legal instrument for DRB management since 2000, supported by several multilateral agreements. The International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) is responsible for the implementation of the WFD in the DRB. It stimulates management-oriented research and coordinates the various activities of the contracting parties and observers, including those of many NGOs and stakeholders. The development of the first DRB Management Plan in 2009 constituted a milestone of cooperation among scientific, political, and public organisations. Key stressors and pressures have been identified, a new basin-wide monitoring network has been established, and numerous conservation and restoration sites have been designated. A major challenge in DRB management will be to establish synergies among the competing interests of navigation, hydropower production, flood protection and nature conservation. This paper examines the strengths and weaknesses of DRB science–policy interactions and outlines future strategies for sustainable development of the DRB as a template for transboundary river basin management.

AB  - It was July 10 in 1648 when Pope Innocent X approved the construction of the ‘Four-Rivers-Fountain’ at the Piazza Navona, probably the most beautiful square in Rome. He asked the famous sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini to finish the fountain by 1650, a Holy Year. The four rivers were the Nile of Africa, the Ganges of Asia, the Rio del la Plata of the Americas and the Danube of Europe (Weithmann 2000). The Danube is the European river par excellence; a river that most effectively defines and integrates Europe. It links more countries than any other river in the world. The Danube River Basin (DRB) collects waters from the territories of 19 nations and it forms the international boundaries for eight of these (Figure 3.1). The river’s largely eastward course has served as a corridor for both migration and trade, and a boundary strongly guarded for thousands of years. The river’s name changes from west to east from Donau, Dunaj, Duna, Dunav, Duna˘rea, to Dunay, respectively. The names of the river (Danube, as well as Don, Dnjeper and Dnjester) most likely originate from the Persian or Celtic word Danu, which literally means flowing. It also may stem from the Celtic ‘Don, Na,’ or ‘two rivers,’ because the Celts could not agree on the source of the Danube (cited in Wohl in press). In this chapter, we provide an overview of the DRB, including the three main sections (Upper, Middle, Lower Danube), the delta and 11 major tributaries (Figures 3.1 and 3.2, Table 3.1). This chapter builds upon several textbooks on the Danube, including Liepolt (1967) and Kinzelbach (1994) and, among many other sources, on information derived from the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR).
