Towards the assesment of ecological status of water bodies in the Sava River Basin

Closed

The Sava River Basin represents an important part of the Danube River Basin due to its natural heterogeneity and biodiversity. Although the data collection on the environmental status is performed through national monitoring programmes, most of the activities are limited to certain river sections, and particularly to chemical and biological parameters. No common database and data-exchange mechanism has been established. The main objective of the STAWA project was to propose a platform for efficient exchange of monitoring data and information on the Sava River Basin. The outcome of the START project provided supplementary information for the development of future water management, flood protection and plans for the development of navigation; thus, it facilitates sustainable use of natural resources on a local, national and transnational level.
