It became a national park in 1994 and now hosts abundant waterlife (coots, black-tailed godwits, plovers, herons, pheasants) and its plantlife has most notably reeds, rushes, grass meadows, willows, osiers and lots of watercress. It is a watersports area (rowing canoeing, sailing) and it also has several recreational areas and a bird reserve.
