New international system for early flood warning in the Danube River Basin

The first international system for forecasting Danube floods and providing an early flood warning was launched last March 10th by the ICPDR and the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission. The new system will provide the national authorities of countries in the Danube River Basin with up to 10 days to prepare for large floods.
