PAKS / LINZ – This investigation looked at the impacts of specific large industrial facilities along the Danube in Hungary, Austria and Germany, as well as legal regulation.
Power plants, factories and other large facilities have a significant impact on the Danube, by releasing hot water and wastewater from industrial processes into the river. On one hand, this causes chemical and biological pollution, on the other hand warms up the river (in addition to the warming and drought caused by climate change). All this affects the ecosystem and water quality of the Danube. The team worked on a multimedia visualisation of the Danube that shows the different industries, the pollution levels and the warming of the river, including graphics and videos.
