In the second RBMPs under the WFD, almost 15 000 surface water bodies (about 10 % of total) are affected by physical alterations of their channel, bed, or riparian area due to flood protection and/or agriculture in 21 of the WFD countries. In addition, flood protection and/or drainage for agriculture are the reasons for designating almost 7 500 water bodies as heavily modified in 26 European countries.
