The farming of land, the rapid process of urbanisation and the development of the transport infrastructure have had a severe impact on the natural habitat and, for example, large-scale drainage schemes have reduced a large section of the natural floodplains.
Exploatarea terenurilor, procesul accelerat de urbanizare şi dezvoltarea infrastructurii de transport au afectat grav habitatul natural şi, de exemplu, schemele de drenaj pe scară largă au redus o parte importantă a zonelor inundate natural.
