The presence of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in drinking waters might pose a serious threat to human health worldwide. Therefore, this study sought measure PhACs Danube-derived tap water from the Budapest metropolitan region (Hungary), and compare results those measured bank filtrate after which risk assessment (based on quotient [hRQ]) was conducted for detected PhACs. A total 108...

Biosphere reserves are protected areas vital for the preservation of living and inanimate nature, including protection anthropogenic values cultural heritage. The basins Mura, Drava, Danube rivers stretch through Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Hungary, Serbia form a unique spatial unity. Reserve concept defines about 300,000 hectares core buffer zones around 700,000 transition zones. This large, p...

In June 2011, 34 specimens of round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) were caught at three different locations in the Sava River in Croatia, which is a first record of this invasive species in Danube tributaries in Croatia. Size, structure and condition of populations indicate that the species is well adjusted to its new habitat and that further range expansions are highly likely.

1 This work is part of the GLOWA-Danube project sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Abstract: We give an overview of the architecture and design principles of the integrated simulation system DANUBIA which supports the analysis of water-related global change scenarios in the Upper Danube Basin. DANUBIA is designed as an internet-based platform integrating the dis...

Rivers are relief features susceptible to change over time more than any other. Dynamic and intensity of those changes depend on a series of factors that have been a research topic for decades, all with the goal of predicting and/or preventing changes that have a negative effect on ecological and administrative systems alike. This is especially evident on big river systems. The topic of water c...
