Between February and March 2026, the LAREDAR project delivered a three-part webinar series focused on the role of lakes and reservoirs in flood risk management across the Danube River Basin. Each 90-minute session combined expert presentations and interactive discussions, guiding participants from identifying challenges to exploring practical tools. The first webinar addressed data gaps, coordination challenges, and climate pressures. The second highlighted existing practices and fragmentation across countries. The third demonstrated the LAREDAR GIS tool and its application for decision-making. Around 70\u201380 participants joined each session, representing authorities, academia, and regional initiatives. Their contributions helped identify priorities such as improved data harmonisation and stronger institutional cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
