Human activities in the highlands alter the usual ecohydrological dynamics of the Pantanal wetland in the lowlands. These alterations can be noted by historical observation and identification of key processes that change the normal ecohydrology in the highlands and lowlands. Depending on land-use scenarios in the near future, the ongoing changes in the highlands may have positive or deleterious effects on the Pantanal's carrying capacity and resilience for providing ecosystem services such as nutrient retention and recycling, water purification, fish stocks, among others. This article seeks to summarize recent information to clarify, guide and provide support for the pursuit of realistic scenarios and induce scientific research and government policies that reconcile sustainable development in the highlands and lowlands, in line with the conservation of the Pantanal wetland.
人类在高原地区的活动改变了低地潘塔纳尔湿地的常规水生态动态。这些变化可以通过历史观测和识别改变高地和低地正常水生态的关键过程来注意到。根据未来不久的土地利用情景，高地正在发生的变化可能对潘塔纳尔湿地的承载能力和提供生态系统服务（如养分保持和循环、水净化、鱼类资源等）的恢复力产生积极或有害的影响。本文旨在总结最新信息，阐明、指导并为追求现实情景提供支持，并促进科学研究和政府政策，以协调高地和低地的可持续发展，符合潘塔纳尔湿地的保护。
