The Water Framework Directive sets the basis for a new water management regulatory perspective, which is of immediate relevance to wetlands. Up to recently, these were perceived solely as marginal habitats, fulfilling a specific role in the conservation of rare and protected species. The principles established by the Directive for the evaluation of the ecological status of significant water bodies relate directly to the relevance of the hydromorphological elements which are part of them, including ecotonal and riparian habitats, as well as other humid habitats connected to the main network. By recognising the moderation role played by wetlands in relation to the impacts affecting the river basin, a new interesting opportunity opens up. This new perspective welcomes forms of management which maximise the environmental quality of riparian areas, of small ponds and of all those situations which are conducive to the restoration of natural processes leading to the control of discharge and pollution loads.
《水框架指令》为一种新的水管理监管视角奠定了基础，这与湿地直接相关。直到最近，湿地还仅仅被视为边缘栖息地，在珍稀和受保护物种的保护中发挥着特定作用。该指令为评估重要水体的生态状况所确立的原则，直接涉及构成这些水体一部分的水文形态要素的相关性，包括生态交错带和河岸栖息地，以及与主网络相连的其他湿润栖息地。通过认识到湿地在影响流域的各种影响方面所起的调节作用，一个新的有趣机遇出现了。这种新视角欢迎各种管理形式，这些管理形式能最大限度地提高河岸地区、小池塘以及所有有利于恢复自然过程以控制排放和污染负荷的情况的环境质量。
