The Danube River
The Danube River (Also known as the Donau, Dunaj, Duna, Dunav, Dunarea, and Dunay River) flows for approximately 1,770 miles (2,850 kilometers). The Danube runs through eight countries with six variations of its name (listed above). The countries that it runs through are: West Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania, and the Soviet Union. The river rises in the Black Forest mountains of West Germany and flows to its mouth on the Black Sea. The Danube has 315,000 square miles of drained area. In that drained area, the Danube gets about 30 inches of rainfall a year. In all, the river includes 300 tributaries, 34 of which are navigable. The river basin expands unevenly along its length. It covers about 18,000 square miles at the Inn confluence, 81,000 square miles after joining with the Drava, and 228,000 square miles below the confluences of its most affluent tributaries, the Sava and the tisza. In the lower course the basin's rate of growth decreases to about 315,000 square miles again. About 56% of the Danube basin is drained by its right bank tributaries, which collect their waters from the Alps and other mountain areas and contribute up to 66 percent of the total runo
Right now if you were to look on the right coast of the Danube River, you would see one country on you left and another country on your right. You would also see castles and fortresses in the 9th century. You would also see a lot of silt deposited on the banks of the river. You would see Hungarians, Germans and all of the other people form the different countries that it passes through. ff or outfall. Some come from the Adriatic Sea, too. The Danube has three sections, the upper, middle, and lower sections. The total amount of volume the the Danube has is 8,525 cubic yards per second. It does increase with every tributary because it increases by 4,565 cubic yards per second from the upper part to the middle part. The average flow at the mouth is the same as above, 8,525 cubic yards per second. Yes, the Danube is steep in some sections but not in others because the upper course stretches from its source to the Gorge in the Austrian Alps and the Western Carpathian Mountains called the Hungarian Gates, which would be very steep. The middle course runs from the Hungarian Gates to the Iron Gate Gorge in the Southern Romanian Carpathians. The lower course flows from the Iron Gate to the delta-like estuary at the Black Sea, which isn't very steep. 2,000 years ago, you probably would have seen the romans preparing an army to fight the barbarians, or even some other roman army. They would be building a bridge for future times that they would want to cross the river. 200 years ago, between December and March periods of ice drift combine with the spring thaw, causing floating ice blocks to accumulate at the river islands, jamming the river's course, and often creating major floods. 100 years ago, people starte
