Produktinformationen "A global perspective on the impact of dams on water quality and supply"

Dams and reservoirs though effective source of water and electricity are immensely detrimental to both aquatic and terrestrial environments. These environment changes are in various amount of degree. Dams affect many different ecological components of rivers such as fish migration, erosion, change in sediment transport, water temperature and thus change in oxygen level and also create hospitable environment for many species (WCD, 2000; Keller, 2000; American Rivers, 2001). Trapping of river sediments alone with its nutrients increases the massive growth of algae. This alter the taste, color and odor of water thereby rendering the water unsafe for drinking, swimming and also unpleasant for potable water supply. Sedimentation and clear water releases also lead to bed degradation near the dam but the flood attenuation caused by the dam can be dominant leading to degradation downstream of tributaries bringing in high sediment loads. Pollution, changes in water quality indicators (temperature, DO, electrical conductivity, pH, nutrients, metals and so on), evaporation that causes recession of water, rising salinity and river obstruction strongly affect the water level fluctuation.

EU Gewährleistungssiegel

Die EU führt ein verpflichtendes, einheitliches EU-Label zur Information über die gesetzliche Gewährleistung ein, ergänzt durch ein Garantielabel, sofern eine freiwillige Herstellergarantie besteht.

Ziel der neuen Regelung ist es, Verbraucherrechte transparenter darzustellen und europaweit einheitliche Informationsstandards zu schaffen. Verbraucher sollen auf einen Blick erkennen können, welche gesetzlichen Mindeststandards gelten, unabhängig davon, in welchem Land oder bei welchem Händler sie einkaufen.

EU Warranty Label

The European Union is introducing a mandatory, standardized EU label to provide information about consumers’ statutory warranty rights. This will be complemented by a guarantee label where a voluntary manufacturer’s guarantee is offered.

The purpose of this new regulation is to make consumer rights more transparent and to establish consistent information standards across the European Union. Consumers should be able to see at a glance which statutory minimum protections apply, regardless of the country or retailer from which they make a purchase.
