While small-scale pond construction would probably have little significance adverse effects on the mangrove ecosystem and its adjacent coastal ecosystem, this is not the case with large-scale impoundment. The conversion of large areas of mangrove to ponds may result in the reduction of adjacent fishery yields. The question here is: will the [aquaculture] ponds be more efficient than the natural ecosystem? 3, record 1, English, - impoundment

Peu d'eau et une chute importante pour la centrale à accumulation, beaucoup d'eau et une faible chute pour les ouvrages au fil de l'eau. Telles peuvent être résumées les principales caractéristiques des deux plus importants types de production d'énergie hydroélectrique. Les ouvrages au fil de l'eau [désignent des] centrales [qui] sont situées sur une rivière et n'ont pas de réservoir. Elles s'adaptent donc au débit naturel du cours d'eau. Les ouvrages fournissent une énergie «en ruban», c'est-à-dire une énergie continue mais dépendante du débit. [En revanche,] les ouvrages à accumulation [désignent des] centrales [qui] utilisent l'eau stockée par les barrages dans les lacs naturels ou artificiels. La chute d'eau, totalement contrôlée, actionne les turbines pour produire de l'électricité. En l'espace de quelques minutes, la centrale peut ainsi produire sa pleine puissance. 9, record 6, French, - centrale%20hydro%C3%A9lectrique%20%C3%A0%20r%C3%A9servoir
