Notes to answerer
Asker: Unter Wasserbelastung verstehe ich ebenfalls Wasserverschmutzung. Warum sprechen die im Text dann aber nicht von pollution?


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Annett Hieber: Tendiere auch eher dazu als zu "übermaßige Wassernutzung" - jedenfalls ohne weiteren Kontext.

Belastung des Wassers


Explanation:
Hallo Verena,

Ich würde "Stress" hier mit Benötigung/Erforderlichkeit, also Bedarf übersetzen. "Strain" mit Belastung.


Viele Faktoren erhöhen den Bedarf und (damit) die Belastung des Wassers.
