	River Basin
		The Danube River and many of its tributaries form the spawning grounds for many fish, but they receive variously treated wastewater from many sources, which ultimately ends up in the Black Sea, affecting a large area of its waters.
		The Middle Basin is the largest of the three sub-regions, extending from Bratislava to the dams of the Iron Gate Gorge on the border between Serbia and Romania.
		The tributaries that enter the main river along this section, including the Iskar, the Olt, the Yantra, the Siret and the Prut are comparatively small and account for only a modest increase in the total flow rate.
