		The abrupt decrease of the water level, both in river beds and ground waters (as a result of the extraction of fine particles of geological sands caused by the movement of the ground waters), resulted in aridity of the whole flooding terrace and changes in a series of wet meadow and floodplain forest communities.
		Even the rest of the territories (mainly islands on the river and small riparian communities) have been seriously threatened and more than half of them are likely to be destroyed in the next 2-5 years unless the statutory base and the governance strategy for water resource exploitation is subject to cardinal changes.
		The described dimensions and consequences from the environmental and social damages caused by the over-exploitation of inert materials in the river valleys determine this problem to be of national significance.

		Species diversity in the river basins under study seemed to be highest in the larger basins: those of the Maritsa (1263 recorded species from 40 systematic groups), the Tundzha (662/35), and the Arda (604/31) (Table 2).
		Because the degree of study of species diversity within individual river basins was uneven, the conclusions about the current state of knowledge of biodiversity at the watershed scale should be considered approximate.
		The upper stretch of the Arda River was among the many water bodies affected by toxic pollution, receiving heavy metals from the mining and processing enterprises in the region.
