  1. RIVERPOLLUTION http://www.seal-pa.org/sams/SAMS%20homepage/8th%20Grade%20Pages/Stiefel/2010%20Environmntal%20Website/SS2/index_files/index_files/Water-pollution.jpg http://www.spoonrevolution.com/reasons/ecology,%20economy/pollution/water_pollution.jpg

  3. CASE STUDIES: RIVER POLLUTION • Danube River Pollution • Rhine River Pollution • Pasig River Pollution Bibliography http://environmental-issues-worldwide.wikispaces.com/file/view/garbage.jpg/82071783/garbage.jpg

  4. DANUBE RIVER • Five major rivers, 165 million people pour pollution into Danube • River absorbs sewage, pesticides from farmers, bilge oils from ships… • Nitrogen and Phosphorous have destroyed once flourishing fishing companies in the river. • Degradation of Danube has affected inhabitants, both ecological and human.

  7. DANUBE RIVER: Solution-What is Being Done? • WWF initiative • WWF completed ‘Danube River Basin Participation Strategy’ • Floodplain Restoration, Watershed Management, Food warning, Evacuation systems allow rivers to continue providing natural benefits.
