Abstract
The Danube River Basin is an aquatic ecosystem of high economic, social and environmental value. It provides drinking water supplies, agriculture, industry, fishing, tourism and recreation, power generation and navigation for a densely populated region of the European continent. The region contains many important natural areas, including wetlands and flood-plain forests. During 1985–1987 a common monitoring programme was established and agreed to under the Bucharest Declaration by Austria, Bulgaria, the former Czechoslovakia, Germany, the former Yugoslavia, Romania, Hungary and the former Soviet Union. Thirteen stations began to collect samples at transboundary sites for agreed upon parameters as well as to record the rate of flow on a monthly basis.
These data have been shared once a year since 1988. The Research and Engineering Institute for Environment which has co-ordinated the Bucharest Declaration monitoring programme since its inception sees urgent needs for expanded monitoring programmes in the Basin and is co-operating with the EPDRB and the International Danube Commission to achieve such goals.
