short description

In cooperation with research groups from Danube riparian countries and other European countries, the EU project daNUbs was carried out under the coordination of the Institute of Water Quality. Based on the

    Identification of sources and input pathways of nutrient emissions in the Danube catchment,
    quantitative mapping of the transport of nutrients via the Danube into the Black Sea
    and the modeling of the influence of nutrients on the Black Sea

concepts for the improvement of nutrient management in the Danube catchment were developed.
