Danube Memorandum of IAWD

On the occassion of the cyanide spill, the Board of IAWD charged
the TWB with the task of developing a memorandum containing
a number of demands in order to prevent future accidents of this
kind or at least to minimise their effects.
The Danube Memorandum formulates guiding principles to secure the attainment of the objective of IAWD to make sure that the water supply companies in the Danube catchment area will always be able to produce sufficient quantities of goodquality drinking water from the available raw
water while exclusively using natural treatment methods, if necessary:

Ecologically intact, quantitatively sufficient water resources
Priority for drinking water production over other forms of water use
Preventive water protection
Ban on the deterioration of water quality
More extensive wastewater purification
Contamination of water by substances from diffuse sources and as a consequence of technical breakdowns
Calculation of wastewater immission charges according to the
“polluter pays” principle
Water monitoring
