Deutsch: Hydrologische Veränderung / Español: Alteración Hidrológica / Português: Alteração Hidrológica / Français: Altération Hydrologique / Italiano: Alterazione Idrologica
The term Hydrological Alteration describes the deliberate or unintentional modification of natural water cycles, flow regimes, or aquatic ecosystems due to human activities—particularly in industrial contexts. These changes can disrupt ecological balances, water availability, and long-term sustainability, posing challenges for both environmental management and industrial operations.
Deutsch: Hydraulische Leistungsübertragung / Español: Transmisión de Potencia Hidráulica / Português: Transmissão de Potência Hidráulica / Français: Transmission de Puissance Hydraulique / Italiano: Trasmissione di Potenza Idraulica
The transfer of mechanical energy through pressurized fluids is a cornerstone of modern industrial systems. Hydraulic power transmission enables precise control of high forces and torques in applications ranging from heavy machinery to automated manufacturing. By converting mechanical input into fluid pressure and back into mechanical motion, this technology bridges the gap between energy generation and operational execution.
Deutsch: Gefährlicher Abfall / Español: Residuos peligrosos / Português: Resíduos perigosos / Français: Déchets dangereux / Italiano: Rifiuti pericolosi
Hazardous waste refers to industrial waste materials that pose a significant risk to human health, the environment, or both due to their toxic, corrosive, flammable, or reactive properties. These wastes are generated in manufacturing, chemical processing, mining, and other industrial activities and require specialized handling, treatment, and disposal methods to prevent contamination and harm.
Deutsch: Gastgewerbe / Español: Hostelería / Português: Hospitalidade / Français: Hôtellerie / Italiano: Ospitalità
