Schelgeis reservoir.
Zillergrundl reservoir.
After EU leaderhipf of Sweden, it is Latvia, Finland and Austria which have almost one third of energy consumption from renewable resources (in Slovakia it is about 14%). More information on that you can find here. Exploring water power plants in Zillertal valley and its surrounding will make this fact unforgettable. Yes, you need special natural conditions to build these huge reservoirs. But surprisingly melting glaciers I mentioned in my previous entry are also a big problem for these plants. As this massive amount of water is not coming slowly but at once it is problem to use its potential.

But I have
to admit that sometimes I feel proud about our civilization. The water in
reservoir was turquoise culured and I felt as being in the film scene of The Treasure of
Silver Lake. The only missing detail was Winnetou a Old
Shatterhand :-)
Jedným zo záväzkov je rozširovať
si vedomosti z oblasti ochrany životného prostredia. A tak som
nezaháľala ani na dovolenke. Po európskom
prvenstve Švédska, je to práve Lotyšsko, Fínsko a Rakúsko, kde je takmer
tretina domácej spotreby energie krytá z obnoviteľných zdrojov (na
Slovensku je to okolo 14%). Vidiac nádhernú sieť vodných elektrárni v Zillertálskej
doline a okolí si tento fakt určite zapamätám. Áno, je nato treba
špeciálne podmienky ľadovcových dolín. A ako som spomínala tie topiace sa ľadovce, tak to paradoxne týmto elektrárňam nepomáha. Obrovský príval vody,
ktorý príde rýchlo a nie postupne sa nedá využiť.
Musím priznať, že niekedy
som na našu civilizáciu aj pyšná.
Voda v priehrade bola tyrkysová a ja som sa cítila ako vo filme
Poklad na striebornom jazere...
Jediný detail, ktorý chýbal bol Winnetou a Old
Shatterhand :-)
