A common landscape and water management plan can increase the quality of life in particular for the less favoured inhabitants of the Danube river basin. Recent European frameworks, the European water framework directive and the European landscape convention are considered as tools for the establishment of common guidelines in landscape and water management on different spatial scales. Ecological, social and economic incentives have to emerge together to preserve the given qualities and to develop the potentials. The project ideas presented here refer to the economic sectors agriculture, construction and tourism. They relate individual efforts to a larger program for more sustainability if they are supported by administration and in depth analysis. Thereby multiplications of best practice approaches can be achieved.
