Cooperating towards Advanced MAnagement ROutines for land use impacts on the water regime in the Danube river basin

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Danube

Date of latest update: 2023-11-06

Description

Description (EN):

The lack of integrated river basin management, both in terms of water resources and flood-risk, is currently one of the most crucial challenges, additionally boosted by climate change. Thus it requires advanced concerted action, particularly as the impacts of land use and vegetation cover on water regime within the Danube basin area are quite similar. This requires a strategic policy for the implementation of an innovative transnational catchment-based “Land Use Development Plan” (LUDP) for the Danube River Basin. It shall guarantee both sustainable protection of water resources and improved flood risk prevention by fostering an advanced trans-sector and transnational cooperation of key stakeholders, initiated by the project and maintained beyond. By means of various Pilot Actions, newly developed best practices in function-oriented sustainable land use management, considering climate change, are tested and documented. The Pilot Actions will be clustered according to their interdependences of land use and vegetation cover respectively, dealing with three different types of water resources (groundwater, torrents, rivers). For stakeholders and decision-makers an innovative transnational guidance (GUIDR) will be developed, complemented by a tailored, application-oriented tool-kit for its operationalization in their respective working spheres. Supported by intensive stakeholder workshops and trainings, the initiation of the practical GUIDR implementation will be conducted within the pilot areas in order to mitigate the different conflicts of interest and to develop prospects for essential actions. As LUDP demonstrates procedures for a sound water management on a transnational basis, it provides important inputs for the further development of EUSDR and other relevant policies. The cooperation of various stakeholders within CAMARO-D will serve as a blueprint for policy development and can be a model for similar cooperation processes in other thematic fields in the EU. .

Achievements (EN):

KNOWLEDGE BASE: In a first step, the project CAMARO-D identified negative practices used within the entire Danube catchment. These gaps were listed at pilot area levels, depending on the respective forms of land use. The approach, which was carried out, was a unique opportunity to confront existing literature (objective information), with specifically gathered information from CAMARO-D expert teams (GAP analysis) and stakeholders’ opinions (SWOT analysis). The performed analysis within the work-package "Investigative Danube" helped to define real gaps in landscape management. BEST PRACTICE MANAGEMENT: In the pilot areas, certain “problems” were identified in several countries of the Danube River Basin and the respective best practices were elaborated by the whole project consortium. As a result, twelve transnational best practice manuals (BPMs) provide ideas of how to solve existing conflicts between land uses or vegetation cover and the protection of water resources. Furthermore, they show how flood prevention challenges in the countries of the Danube River Basin are linked to existing strategies and policies while also collaborating with the local population, institutions and governmental authorities. GUIDR (GUIDANCE FOR SUSTAINABLE LAND USE PLANNING): CAMARO-D project focused directly on land use planning and its potential contribution to sustainable water management and specifically its role in achieving the EU Water Policy objectives as articulated in the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and ensuring water security in the Danube basin. In this context, the developed GUIDR document (Guidance for the Danube Region for sustainable land use planning) serves as guidance to linking land use/land use planning and water management. It became evident, that the development of joint standards on transnational level is a challenging and rather slow process, but essential for the development of the transnational concept for land use planning. The provision of national inputs and common work with stakeholders is crucial for the process. Thus, awareness raising activities and education of the general public on existing environmental pressures should be taken to a higher level, since the stakeholder engagement is an integral part of good practice in modern policy-making, particularly in initial stages of policy development. Continued coordination between all stakeholder groups is a key element in the successful implementation of any of the GUIDR guidelines. CONCEPT FOR A LAND USE DEVELOPMENT PLAN: A concept for a Land Use Development Plan (LUDP) was elaborated which will enable cooperation and coordination of different sustainable land use management practices in the Danube river basin. It represents the initial action for a transnational catchment-based cooperation and the commonly developed measure bundles should therefore be integrated in existing River Basin Management Plans and Flood risk management plans. http://www.interreg-danube.eu/approved-projects/camaro-d/campaigns

Expected Results (EN): Intensity of cooperation of key actors in the programme area in order to improve transnational water management and flood risk prevention (survey based composite indicator)

Expected Outputs (EN):

The main result of CAMARO-D is improved trans-sector and transnational cooperation between relevant stakeholders, especially governmental institutions, who are in charge of regulations for land use management and responsible for the relevant legislation in the Danube River Basin. Recommendations for improved land management, ensuring water resources protection and flood risk prevention, are elaborated, improving the framework conditions for decision processes of involved stakeholders. Related to function-oriented land use practices fundamental consensus is achieved concerning the harmonization of measures - ranging from the regional scale up to transnational level. Guidelines and strategic planning instruments to coordinate land use activities in catchments of the transnational Danube River Basin contribute to the intensity of cooperation of key stakeholders and actors to improve transnational water management and flood risk prevention. This leads to: - developed integrated efficient land use management practices regarding optimisation of use of capacities and resources, - sustainable management of catchments with the aim of establishing integrated protection of water resources on transnational comparable level and mitigating basin-wide flood risks , - capacity building and transnational stakeholder dialogues (local authorities, interested communities, end users etc.) in order to reach a common approach towards sustainable transnational land use and water management.
