In 2018, River Danube showed the lowest ever level of water, which it held for months - virtually completely impossible for navigation.Īn actual policy paper worded that “recently the number of navigable days went under 250 days a year.” But how about the future? The Strategy on Adaption on Climate Change of the ICPDR (International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River) in 2013 (page 14) stated that („The tendency for drier summers strengthens during the course of the century…”ĭredging of the riverbed may give answers for the low level water discharge. One of the great advantages of inland navigation is that there is no need for any construction here, as "water is there already, we only have to sail it.” The facts of recent years seem to contradict this. “Because the water is already there, we only have to sail it.” Many do not even doubt its reality, however data shows the opposite. It is a wildly distributed opinion that navigation is environment friendly, kind of green. The sentence is supposed to be said by Pompeius to his sailors when they had to transport grain from Sicily to Rome in the stormy see. But the original statement was longer, it was “Navigare necesse est, vivere non est necesse” (Navigation is necessary, living is not necessary). “Navigation is necessary” (Navigare necesse est), we quote often the old romans, mostly to support all plans for navigation developments.
