THE EFFECTS OF RIVER REGULARIZATION, EMBANKMENT AND DRAINING ON THE ECOLOGY OF MAJOR WATER MEADOWS
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The hydraulic works carried for river regularization and floodplain’s embankment and draining alter the habitat, both within the river and the floodplain, this having a negative impact on their ecology. The changes of land use are disrupting the distribution of biodiversity: therefore, some species have explosively evolved, becoming dominant species to the detriment of others that will become rare or endangered species. The operation of hydro-ameliorative enclosures may lead to soil salinization phenomena. On rivers, the phenomenon of surge increasing occurs. This paper presents aspects related to environmental changes that may occur within enclosures after the completion and operation of regularization works, embanking and draining.
