DANUBE HYDROPOWER AND SOME RELATED PROBLEMS
Danube has a length of 2912 km, a 6500 m3/s final discharge and a hydroelectric potential of 42 TWh, the recovery of which necessitate to build approximately 50 power plants. About 30% of this potential is found at the river sector making the Romanian-Serbian border. Two important hydroelectric and...
