For three weeks, from September 18 to October 11, environmentalist Li An Phoa, the founder of the Dutch NGO Drinkable Rivers, and her partner, the journalist Maarten van der Schaaf, will walk through three different sections along the Romanian part of the Danube River in order to draw attention to the direct relation between the health of the rivers of the world and the quality of their waters. Their approach starts from the idea that a river is trully ecologically healthy when its waters are safe to drink.
The promenade intitled „Let’s make the Danube drinkable” is part of the European project Danube4all (Restoration of the Danube River Basin for ecosystems and people from mountains to coast) and involves daily walks on the routes agreed upon with project partners – WWF Romania, National Institute for Research and Development in Marine Geology and GeoEcology – GeoEcoMar and BOKU, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, Austria.
