Fig.11. Importance of the water quality<br />
People perception about water quality in the Danube differs from reality, as a large<br />
fraction of the sample (45%) considers water quality poor. Actually water quality is moderate to<br />
good, with some pollution hot-spots, the main problem in the area being the large<br />
hydromorphological modifications (canalization, dredging, and embankments) of the river arms<br />
that affected the natural functioning of the system. Almost 45% of the sample views water<br />
quality closer to reality as being moderate and good, while only 1% believes the water is very<br />
good.<br />
