This book provides essential information and recent findings on
hydro-environmental issues in the Lower Danube River, particularly
its hydrological and hydromorphological processes; physico-chemical
features; climate and water-related hazards; and not only the
biodiversity and quality but also the sustainable management and
governance of its hydro-environment. Accordingly, it presents a
broad range of scientific information on the lower sector of the
second-longest river in Europe, which holds major economic
importance and has been severely impacted by human pressures,
especially since the second part of the last century. The
engineering works (e.g. dams, reservoirs, levees, channelization,
etc.) on the Danube and its tributaries, despite their benefits to
society, have altered its flow and significantly reduced its
sediment load, with consequences for hydromorphological processes
and aquatic ecosystems. These ecosystems have also been affected by
pollution from various sources. To promote sustainable management
of the Danube River and its watershed, several strategies and
measures have been developed by a number of institutions, from the
European level to the national and regional levels (commissions,
national authorities, non-governmental organizations, etc.).
Compared to the upper and middle sectors of the Danube, the lower
sector has received less attention in the international scientific
literature in terms of hydro-environmental issues. The book fills
this gap and provides current and original insights and findings
from recent studies conducted by scientists from three countries
drained by the Lower Danube River and its tributaries: Bulgaria,
Romania and Serbia. This unique book will be of great scientific
interest to professional engineers, policy planners and
policymakers in the three countries mentioned above, helping them
to implement their own sustainable development plans. It also
offers a valuable resource for graduate students, researchers and
stakeholders.
