The project is concerned with the completion of a network of signs (a system of reference) for the Romanian Danube and a catalogue with the precise coordinates of those signs, both in the Romanian reference system (necessary for the cadastre records) and in the European reference system (necessary for the changes on the electronic chart).This project is necessary for the accuracy of the land and water measurements conducted by the River Administration of the Lower Danube.ObjectivesThis project is meant to enhance navigation safety on the Romanian stretch of the Danube by means of high precision surveys of the waterway, highlighting the effort of a previous PHARE project, i.e. the Electronic Navigation Chart (ENC). The ENC contains data and information on all identifiable objects along the Danube river (islands, bridges, dams, gates, roads, railways etc.) that are to be located on the chart using precise geographical coordinates. Such precise coordinates can be achieved by means of a support geodetic network in the field, and the determination of the geodetic coordinates (planimetry and altimetry) as a system, based on high precision measurements which will be accomplished within the project.
