Summary:The Danube Water Integrated Management (WATER) Project is a Romania -- Bulgaria international common project. The main objectives of the project is to improved water monitoring and warnings system and environmental data dissemination on the Romanian -- Bulgarian border counties. Flood events, often severely impacting human lives and properties are likely to increase in scale and frequency in the future as result of climate change, inappropriate river management and construction in flood risk areas. In the Danube WATER Project was made a spatial analysis of the areas that could be adequate for water accumulation, groundwater recharge and create the wet areas. The research has followed two directions, the evolution of wetlands and land uses in the Danube flood plain and the assessment of geological and hydrogeological parameters for the zones suitable for shallow aquifer recharge and wetlands renaturation in study area. The paper presents the results that can be used in the decision concerning the land use in Danube flood plain.
