Abstract
The main objective of the project is to restore some of the ancient inland waterways in the Danube River
Basin and Adriatic River Basin to help implement a sustainable boat tourism in order to connect societies
in borderlands, improve their socio-economic future and consequently help improve water management
and the environment of the river basins, reduce cross border water pollution, promote natural heritage and
support local organic farming. The project takes into consideration the needs of the incoming tourist, that
will come to these areas for boat adventures and fulfil expectations of local communities in borderlands,
and the low water table and the ecological perspective, which call for the use of smaller boats with
basic facilities. The final outcome of the project will be a spatial plan proposal for local and/or national
authorities in study areas.
