Abstract
The Danube with a total length of 2 857 km and a longterm daily mean discharge of about 6300 m3s−l is the second biggest river in Europe. In terms of the length it is listed as the 21st biggest river in the world and in terms of drainage area it ranks as 25th with a drainage area of 817 000 km2. The water regime of the Danube is uniform up to the mouth of the river Inn. At the upstream end of the Danube, the greatest flow is present during the May – June period (Alpine regime) as a result of the snow melting in the Alps, while the lowest flow is registered towards the end of the autumn and during the winter months (October – February).
