Happy Danube Day – and Happy Summer Break!

Voice of the Danube

Our Danube is our future. That is the message of this year’s Danube Day. Sunday, 29 June is full of celebrations in thirteen European nations situated in the basin of our beloved river.

Everybody who cares about the health and quality of its water and the surrounding nature has been invited to contribute, and the IAWD and Danube Water Program teams have of course pulled their weight:

We all sat down to create a Danube Quiz that you can take.

Each team member contributed one question, and you are invited to test your knowledge against that of:

  • DWP Program Leader and World Bank Senior Water Resource Management Specialist Raimund Mair
  • DWP Senior Water and Wastewater Specialist Stjepan Gabric,  
  • Ms. Kathia Havens as Program Analyst at the World Bank
  • Short Term Consultant Tom Besinger, who currently works on the World Bank’s State of the Sector Report,
  • DWP Intern Camila Cabeza
  • IAWD Project Manager Pierantonio La Vena,
  • IAWD Benchmarking and Partnerships Manager Ana Badhofer 
  • IAWD Communication and Engagement Officer Lena Schober
  • IAWD Financial Manager Ermira Vasili,
  • IAWD Association Development Manager Elisabeta Poci,
  • IAWD Head of Secretariat Katerina Schilling
  • and IAWD President Walter Kling.

The whole team wishes you, dear readers, a happy Danube Day 2025. This being the last Voice of the Danube newsletter before our traditional summer break, we also take the occasion to wish everybody a lovely summer with always enough and never too much water in the systems.
