Changing land use and adaptation of land use management

  • Maintenance and expansion of the forest population in river basins by semi-natural reforestation, particularly in mountain and hilly ranges

  • Maintenance of the vegetation edging waterways to support biodiversity of these environments, and help against risk of flood damages

  • Implement land use regulation to preserve and enhance natural retention across the river basin

  • Reduction of impermeable areas and improvement of soil storage

Changing land-use

  • To maximize yield under new conditions

  • Use frequently flooded land for grazing instead of arable production

  • Harmful reduction of non-arable lands with afforestation

  • In taking advantage of modified agro-climatic conditions

Collaboration

  • Strengthening operational cooperation between the emergency response authorities in the Danube countries and improve the interoperability of the available assets in order to reduce damages, protect citizens and ensure an appropriate response to emergencies

  • Better communication among institutions, forecasting and warning service
