PN23300303 – Optimising the sustainable management of natural resources, increasing water security and resilience of ecosystems in the Lower Danube basin affected by climate change and anthropogenic interventions

Acronim: GEOMARDIGITAL

The climate and land use changes have a major impact on the hydrological system, and the population growth and infrastructure development generate even greater dependence on the hydrological system. Pressure on the water resources can eventually lead to periods of scarcity, jeopardizing people’s access to water, energy and food, hindering the economic development, causing social and geopolitical tensions, and irreversible damage to the environment. To manage the water resources more effectively, a paradigm shift is needed, from a sectoral to a holistic approach, in order to optimize water use without any negative effect on other sectors.The current project aims to develop the solutions for optimizing the resource in the Danube River area, to satisfy both the economic-societal needs and the ecological functions of the river ecosystem. To achieve this goal, the project aims to deliver a series of results such as – the development and testing of new methodologies for the hydromorphological and water quality assessment of the Danube, the adaptation and development of nature-based solutions for flood risk reduction, improved navigation, as well as water quality and ecosystem status; the quantification of water resource use in the lower Danube; and the development of recommendations to improve water resource management and increase the ecosystem resilience.

  • Assessment of the hydromorphological state of the Danube to combat the anthropogenic impact and to mitigate the effects of climate change.
  • Complex water quality assessment to increase the resilience of the ecosystems in the lower Danube basin.
  • Identifying and adapting Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to reduce the flood risk, to improve the navigation conditions, the water quality and the state of ecosystems in the lower Danube basin.
  • Quantifying the use of water resources on the lower Danube in the current socio-economic context, strongly influenced by climate change, in order to contribute to the improvment of the water resource management.
