Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present the Danube River Basin Environmental Programme as an example of cooperation among nations sharing a common watershed. The word, “example” does not intend to mean that this endeavor is necessarily the best approach to follow but as a possible vehicle how environmental degradation in an international river basin can be addressed from the recognition of the environmental issues towards the implementation of the necessary measures in close cooperation of the riparian countries. We will put emphasis on the process of Programme development; therefore hydrological, ecological or economic conditions of the basin will be only briefly described.
