WORKING FOR DANUBE RIVER BASIN AND ITS PEOPLE




ICPDR - INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE DANUBE RIVER

The International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) is
an International Organisation consisting of 14 cooperating states and the
European Union. Since its establishment in 1998, the ICPDR has grown into one of
the largest and most active international bodies of river basin management
expertise in the World. The ICPDR deals not only with the Danube itself, but
also with the whole Danube River Basin, which includes its tributaries and the
ground water resources.

The goal of the ICPDR is to implement the Danube River Protection Convention
(DRPC) and make it a living tool. In addition, the ICPDR is the body that
coordinates the implementation of EU Water Framework Directive and EU Floods
Directive in the Danube River Basin.

The ICPDR mission is to promote and coordinate sustainable and equitable water
management, including conservation, improvement and rational use of waters for
the benefit of the Danube River Basin countries and their people. The ICPDR
pursues this mission by making recommendations for the improvement of water
quality, developing mechanisms for flood and accident control, agreeing
standards for emissions and by assuring that these are reflected in the
Contracting Parties' national legislations and applied in their policies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


TERRITORY IN THE DANUBE RIVER BASIN (DRB)



The Danube River Basin comprises of an area of 801,463 km². It is the world's
most international river basin, as it extends into the territories of 19
countries.

The ecosystems of the Danube River Basin are highly valuable in environmental,
economic, historical and social terms, but they are subject to pressures and
pollution from agriculture, industry and cities - issues which are jointly
addressed by the Danube Basin countries through the ICPDR. Click on the
countries given above to learn more about the basin and its diverse assets.


WELCOME TO ICPDR.ORG!


We invite you to browse through our website and sincerely hope we can inspire
you to learn more about how the ICPDR works tirelessly towards cleaner,
healthier and safer waters in the Danube River Basin, for everyone to enjoy.

Mr. Róbert–Eugen Szép
ICPDR President 2022
