Marcarea Zilei Internaţionale a Dunării a fost instituită după semnarea, în 1994, a Convenţiei privind cooperarea pentru protecţia şi utilizarea durabilă a fluviului Dunărea de către Comisia Internaţională pentru Protecţia Fluviului Dunărea (ICPDR). Documentul a fost semnat la 29 iunie 1994, la Sofia, în capitala Bulgariei. A fost estimat că aproximativ 67 de milioane de tone de aluviuni își fac drum spre deltă în fiecare an, fapt ce determină creșterea. Dunării i-a fost dedicat un vals vienez, scris de Johann Strauss Jr. în 1886, numit „Dunărea albastră”. Bazinul hidrografic al Dunării joacă un rol important în contextul politic, social, economic şi cultural, pentru dezvoltarea Europei Centrale şi de Sud-Est.
