DriDanube, funded by Interreg, addresses the risks and impacts of drought in the Danube region.
The project aims to improve capacity of the region for drought emergency response and enhance
preparedness for drought management by introducing recently developed monitoring and risk assessment tools.
The Drought Watch (www.droughtwatch.eu) is a tool developed within the project for efficient drought monitoring and early warning for the whole Danube region.
