8 Sediments in WFD implementation WFD Art. 5 Report 2004 Sediment deficit in the Danube due to damming and regulation works reported. It stimulated further discussion on sediments in DRB. Sediment Issue Paper 2006 Prepared by HU, RO and AT in cooperation with the Secretariat. Addressed both quality and quantity. The issue of sediment deficit remained open.
9 2006 paper: Damming & sediment transport Sediment accumulation in dams - extraction needed Gravel extraction m 3 /a in Abwinden Asten dam. 325 million tons of sediment accumulated in the Iron Gate between 1972 and 1994 filling 10% of the reservoir capacity. Reduced sediment discharge leads to riverbed erosion Danube downstream Vienna - riverbed erodes at a rate of cm/year. Downstream the Freudenau dam addition of m 3 bed load per year is required. Significant erosion downstream the Iron Gate.
10 2006 paper: Sediment balance Sediment deficit in the Danube due to damming and regulation works SPM in Issacea in million tons/year No deficit of suspended solids reported in the upper Danube.

13 Sediments & ecology The bottom sediments of lakes, streams, groundwaters and wetlands host an enormous diversity of biota (more than 100,000 benthic invertebrate species, 10,000 species of algae and more than 20,000 species of protozoans and bacteria). Species richness of freshwater sediment biota varies considerably between wetlands (locally up to 1500 invertebrate species), lakes and streams (locally approximately species) and ground waters (locally species).
14 WFD implementation RBM Plan 2009 Sediments addressed as other issue (not SWMI). Sediment chapter was based on the 2006 Issue Paper and on the WWF report on Assessment of the balance and management of sediments of the Danube waterway. Sediment balance of most large rivers within the DRB can be characterised as disturbed or severely altered. Hydropower plants in the upper Danube catchments trap almost 80-90% of the sediment bed load. One third of the suspended load retained in the upper Danube while in the lower Danube the transport of suspended load currently reaches only 30% of the original amount recorded.
15 RBM Plan 2009 Conclusions & way forward There is an increasing discrepancy in the DRB between sediment surplus in reservoirs and retention basins of torrent control works and sediment deficit in the remaining free-flowing sections. In combination with river channelisation, this leads to river bed degradation and a loss of morphodynamic structures with associated problems concerning ecological status. To propose appropriate measures for improving the above mentioned situation, a sediment balance for the DRB has to be developed, including identification of possible consequences due to climate change (e.g. glacier retreat). Availability of sufficient and reliable data on sediment transport is a prerequisite for any future decisions on sediment management in DRB.
16 RBM Plan 2009 Conclusions & way forward Attention should be given to ensuring the sediment continuum (improving existing barriers and avoiding additional interruptions). Additional investigations are needed to identify the significance of sediment transport on the Danube basin-wide scale. River regulation works (e.g. to increase transport capacity) contribute to river bed degradation. River restoration is of key importance for reducing degradation and improving morphodynamics, necessary for achieving good ecological status. Dredging contributes significantly to the bed load deficit. It is therefore recommended that commercial extraction of sediments be prevented and that material dredged for maintenance be inserted back into the river.
17 WFD implementation Discussion on the integration of sediment management into RBM was held on an international level Recommendations to be made for a better inclusion of relevant sediment issues in future RBMPs.
18 Navigation Ship traffic causes waves, which can disturb the reproduction habitats of fish, benthic invertebrates, other biota as well as de-root aquatic plants and also cause an unnatural suspension of fine sediments, leading to reduced light for plant and algae growth. For the preservation/conservation of the ecological integrity of the Danube River, the basic needs is balanced sediment budget. natural disturbances (e.g. floods, droughts) and associated sediment transport variations are among the key elements that constitute the basis for the highly dynamic nature of riverine landscapes and their biodiversity.
19 Joint Statement adopted by Danube Commission, ISRBC and ICPDR

22 Hydropower Process ongoing within the ICPDR: in close cooperation with the hydropower sector and all relevant stakeholders a broad discussion is ongoing with the aim of developing guiding principles on integrating environmental aspects in the use of existing hydropower plants, including a possible increase of their efficiency, as well as in the planning and construction of new hydropower plants
23 Recent developments EU Danube Strategy PA4 Example of project - To carry out an assessment for restoration of the sediment balance in the Danube. Transboundary solutions need to be found for the problem of riverbed incision and the lack of sediment. Co-ordination within the framework of the Strategy will help ensure identification and implementation of best solutions. This is also an important project in relation to flood prevention.
24 ICPDR Sediment Project Project proposal on Danube Sediment Management Assessment for Restoration of Sediment Balance in the DRB was drafted by AT, HU, RO RS, SK and DE and the Secretariat and submitted to the SEE Programme call in November 2011; The project received the Danube Strategy Letter of Recommendation due to its high relevance for the implementation of Priority Area 4 of the Strategy; In October 2012 the ICPDR Secretariat was informed by the project lead that the Danube Sediment Management project was officially rejected.

27 Future steps ICPDR asked the lead countries together with the Secretariat based on the existing project proposal to work towards a revised project proposal to be submitted with other stakeholders (i.e. hydropower, navigation) to a future call of an adequate funding program seeking close cooperation with the RBM EG, other relevant EGs, the EUSDR (Pillar B, PA1a and PA2) and other potential stakeholders involved in sediment management; ICPDR concluded that a sound knowledge base is needed before the sediment issue paper of 2006 can be updated.
