1.2. Hydromorphological pressures and habitat alterations

Europe’s surface freshwaters are affected by major modifications, such as water abstractions, water flow regulations (dams, weirs, sluices, and locks) and morphological alterations, straightening and canalisation, and disconnection of flood plains. These are called hydromorphological pressures.
