Approximately 83 million people live in the Danube River Basin today.
Today only a third of the world’s 177 large rivers (1,000 km and longer) remain free-flowing, unimpeded by dams or other barriers.
The Danube originates in the town of Donaueschingen which is in the Black Forest of Germany at the confluence of the rivers Brigach and Breg.

Globally, the agricultural sector consumes about 70% of the planet's accessible freshwater – more than twice that of industry (23%), and dwarfing municipal use (8%).
