Threats listed in assessment
As it has been recorded in reservoirs, this species may be threatened by use of water for agricultural use and flood prevention (Aspinall et al. 1995). Climate change and drier conditions may also threaten this species as it needs more than other species (El-Keblawy et al. 2016). Access roads through areas where this species is present may pose a threat (Aspinall et al. 1995).
