JS: …undisturbed longitudinal and lateral migration of all fish species and other water-related species to ensure their natural and self-sustaining development…

• Adopted design approach:• Preferring detached

structures

JS: …Set-up a transparent planning process (information/ participation)…

• Stakeholders’ Forum established• Web site, no restrictions

(2.000 hits monthly)• Serbian and English language• 9 Forum meetings• 2 site visits• 26 presentations on events• 24 articles• 1 movie



Stakeholders’ Forum evaluation results




JS: …Ensure the comparability of alternatives…

• Multi-Criteria Analysis• Navigation• Environment• Technical feasibility• Costs




JS: …Inform and consult the international river commissions in the Danube River Basin…

• Stakeholders’ Forum




JS: …Seek to avoid or, if this is not possible, to minimize the impacts of structural/ hydraulic engineering interventions…

• For each of 6 sectors, at least 5 conceptual alternatives

• For conceptual alternatives, up to 35 simulations




Use of best practice measures to improve navigation…

• Using all available practice, to identify the most suitable solution for each sector, by case-by-case approach

JS: …Ensure flexible funding … to enable integrated planning and adaptive implementation & monitoring…




JS: …Monitor the effects of measures…

• Environmental monitoring ensured: before, during and after works• Hydro-morphology• Water and sediment quality• Biology




JS: …Use a case-by-case approach…

• Every critical sector analyzed by case-by-case approach




JS: …“working with nature” … following the principle of minimum or temporary engineering intervention…

• Mostly applied solution is dredging, with refilling the sediment back into the river

• Minimum structural interventions by application of different pilot solutions

• All structures detached




JS: …Integrated design of regulation structures, equally regarding hydraulic, morphological and ecological criteria…

• Multi-Criteria Analysis• Navigation• Environment• Technical feasibility• Costs

JS: …implementation of measures in an adaptive form (e.g. river bed stabilization by granulometric bed improvement, low water regulation by groynes)…

• All structures design to have impact only during low water periods




JS: …Optimal use of the potential for river restoration (e.g. river banks restoration) and side channel reconnection…

• Budget for (during monitoring programme) identified additional environmental compensation measures insured




JS: …Ensuring that flood water levels are not exacerbated and, ideally, are reduced…

• No long-term impact on water levels
