The Danube Glossary is published on the webpage of the Directorate for Inland Waterways.Under the activity of strategic communication within the Danube STREAM project, the new edition of the Danube Glossary was compiled and published in the English language. The Directorate for Inland Waterways has prepared this publication also in the Serbian language for all national stakeholders.
The Danube Glossary originates from the period of cooperation in the international project NEWADA duo (Network of Danube Waterway Administrations – data and user orientation), 2012-2014, under the South East Europe Transnational Cooperation Programme. The Danube STREAM project has continued on this basis, enabling its project partners to now prepare this new edition.
The Danube Glossary is mainly focused on Danube waterway users. It contains elementary terminology used by Danube waterway administrations staff in their daily business of providing safe and sustainable navigation conditions on the Danube River, but also general information about the river aiming at raising awareness of the general public. The terminology is related to inland navigation, civil engineering, traffic and transport engineering, geodesy, hydrography, hydrology, geographic information systems, river information services, ecology, nature and environmental protection. Special attention in this edition is given to the geographical terms related to the Danube River waterway, but also to the currently emphasized project cooperation among the Danube riparian countries and its management.
The publication can be downloaded free of charge from the
Danube STREAM project page.
The Danube STREAM project - Smart, Integrated and Harmonized Waterway Management – is co-funded within the first call of the EU Danube Transnational Programme (Interreg Danube Transnational Programme) and started on the 01st of January 2017 with a duration of 30 months.
