Austria is one of the richest countries in the world, with some of the largest reserves of fresh water in Europe . This wealth is often recognised more frequently abroad than within our own borders. As a result of its numerous crystal-clear mountain lakes, streams, springs, moors, ponds, meadows and alluvial forests, marshes, glaciers and so on, Austria is in a perfect position to present water in its various forms.

The “TRANQUIL WATERS…” project, which is characterised by sensitive co-ordination, aims to present the diversity of our wealth of water in a unique fashion. A project focusing on the theme of water in all of its forms, from mountain lakes to the Danube alluvial forests, is a spectacular way to portray the distinctive and unique characteristics of this valuable element.

In order to paint a picture of the various locations, each has been given what we believe is the most suitable name to describe its main characteristics.

This project represents an ideal opportunity for sponsors, companies and institutions which operate in areas connected with water, a chance to support around 16 project areas, which comprise all forms of water found in Austria , and thereby also improve their own image. The project areas are centrally and exclusively administered.

As the topic of water is one which polarises opinions, but also affects all of us, a contribution towards the protection of this important resource can have a great impact on corporate image in a range of ways. At the same time, sponsors, with the support and assistance of BIOSA, really can make a simple, yet effective and valuable contribution to the protection and preservation of this natural treasure of ours.
