German term or phrase: Ausprägung
Das Abschmelzen der Gletscher im Himalaja kann in den nächsten 20 bis 30 Jahren für Überflutungen, Erdrut¬sche und eine Verschlechterung der Wasserqualität des Mekong sorgen. Aber auch Tro¬ckenheit kann langfristig, nach Abschmelzen der Gletscher, zum Problem für das Mekong-Einzugsgebiet werden. Insgesamt wird die Ausprägung von Hochwasser- und Dürreereignis¬sen jeweils verstärkt.
