Intervenția umanăCea mai mare parte a suprafeței fluviului râului Nistru este valorificată sub terenuri arabile, pădurile ocupând doar 13%. Cea mai mare parte a mlaştinilor a fost desecată pentru a fi ocupată de păşuni şi terenuri agricole. Totodată, oamenii au construit de-a lungul râului și baraje, pentru a se proteja de inundații. Pentru ca aceasta să funcționeze, la Naslavcea, mai jos de hidrocentrală, a fost construit un baraj de reținere a apei. Bariere mari, cum ar fi barajele sau o serie de structuri mici, modifică fluxul natural al unui râu și provoacă presiuni asupra peștilor și a altor specii, precum și a habitatelor acestora.
