Data processing through social networks
We maintain publicly available profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Google+ etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or banner ads). When you visit our social media pages, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered.
In detail: If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are stored. This way you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside of your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to or have logged in to.
Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Responsibility and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g., Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can in principle protect your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability and complaint) vis-à-vis us as well as vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).
Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are determined by the company policy of the respective provider.
Storage time
The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for their storage lapses, you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no control over the storage duration of your data that are stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

SIGN – Sauberes Wasser von der Quelle bis zum Verbraucher
Internationale Partnerschaften für nachhaltige Klimaschutz- und Umwelttechnologien und -dienstleistungen – CLIENT
Zur Erreichung vorrangiger wasserwirtschaftlicher Ziele in China wurde unter Leitung des chinesischen Umweltministeriums und Einbindung sechs weiterer Ministerien der Zentralregierung das „Major Program of Science and Technology for Water Pollution Control and Governance“ ins Leben gerufen. Das Programm hat eine Laufzeit von 2006 bis 2020.Aufgrund der erheblichen Verschmutzung des chinesischen Tai-Sees treten dort immer wieder Probleme bei der Trinkwasserversorgung der Bevölkerung auf. Das Verbundprojekt „SIGN (SIno-German Water Supply Network)“ befasst sich mit dem gesamten Wasserkreislauf von der Quelle bis zum Verbraucher. Hauptziele sind die Verbesserung der Wasserqualität im Tai-See sowie des daraus gewonnenen Trinkwassers und die Ableitung von Handlungsempfehlungen für ein nachhaltiges Wassermanagement am Tai-See.
China erlebt derzeit eine rasante industrielle und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung, wozu auch die nahe bei Shanghai gelegene Region um den Tai-See gehört. Insgesamt nimmt der Bedarf an Brauch- und Trinkwasser in den wachsenden Ballungszentren kontinuierlich zu. Gleichzeitig wird die Wasserqualität durch industrielle und landwirtschaftliche Einträge verschlechtert.
Sicherung der Wasserqualität …
Am Tai-See, Chinas drittgrößtem Süßwassersee, wird seit Jahren eine zunehmende Wasserverschmutzung beobachtet. Trotzdem dient der See als Trinkwasserquelle für ca. 10 Millionen Menschen. Im Jahre 2007 wurde die Trinkwasserversorgung aufgrund einer massiven Algenblüte unterbrochen. In der Stadt Wuxi mussten damals ca. 2 Millionen Menschen kurzzeitig ohne Leitungswasser auskommen.
Das SIGN-Projekt leistet durch den ganzheitlichen Blick auf den gesamten Wasserkreislauf – von der Stadtentwässerung, Abwassermanagement, Gewässergüte, Rohwasserqualität, Trinkwasseraufbereitung bis zur Trinkwasserverteilung – einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Wasser- und somit der Lebensqualität am Tai-See. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf den Metropolen Wuxi und Suzhou.
… vom See als Trinkwasser-Reservoir …
Im Verbundvorhaben SIGN werden in Deutschland bewährte Technologien und Konzepte gezielt an die Randbedingungen in China angepasst. Zunächst werden innovative Monitoringmethoden zur Erfassung der aktuellen Wasser- und Sedimentbelastungen des Tai-Sees entwickelt, wobei Herkunft und Konzentrationen der Belastungen erfasst werden.
Schadstoffeinträge aus dem städtischen Raum werden durch verbesserte Entwässerungssysteme und Kläranlagen minimiert. Die Entwässerungssysteme dienen gleichzeitig der Überflutungsvorsorge. Um die Verteilung des Trinkwassers zu verbessern, werden Methoden zur Leckageortung und die Spülung von Trinkwasserleitungen optimiert. Im Hinblick auf die im Wasser enthaltenen Schadstoffe werden sowohl chemische (zum Beispiel Pestizide und Nährstoffe) als auch biologische Verunreinigungen (zum Beispiel Algen und antibiotikaresistente Bakterien) sowie die Ökotoxizität betrachtet.
Natürliche biologische Abbauprozesse können zur Verringerung von Schadstoffkonzentrationen sowohl im See als auch bei der Trinkwasseraufbereitung beitragen. Hier kommen u. a. Isotopenmethoden zum Einsatz, die den biologischen Abbau anhand der Isotopenzusammensetzung der Schadstoffe chemisch-analytisch messbar machen.
Bei der Aufbereitung von Seewasser zu Trinkwasser stehen insbesondere Blaualgen und die von ihnen gebildeten Giftstoffe im Vordergrund des Interesses: Neben Methoden zur Vorhersage von Algenblüten werden technische Verfahren zu deren Entfernung durch Membranfiltration und chemische Oxidation weiterentwickelt und testweise eingesetzt.
Die geschilderten Forschungs- und Entwicklungstätigkeiten münden in die Bewertung rechtlicher Aspekte, den Wissensaustausch mit den Partnern vor Ort, die Anpassung der Produkte der deutschen Industriepartner für den chinesischen Markt sowie in praktisch umsetzbare Handlungsempfehlungen für ein nachhaltiges Wassermanagement.
… bis zum Wasserhahn des Verbrauchers
Die enge Zusammenarbeit von 16 deutschen Projektpartnern aus Industrie (überwiegend kleine und mittlere Unternehmen) und Forschung sichert wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisgewinn bei gleichzeitiger Gewährleistung der wirtschaftlichen Ergebnisverwertung durch die beteiligten Industriepartner. Die Umsetzung in China wird durch die Beteiligung von zehn chinesischen Projektpartnern – führende Forschungsinstitute sowie die relevanten Behörden und Wasserwerke – sichergestellt. Die Region am Tai-See ist eine der Schwerpunktregionen des aktuellen chinesischen Förderprogramms zur Kontrolle und Behandlung von kontaminiertem Wasser, was die politische Relevanz des SIGN-Projektes verdeutlicht. Der Verbund SIGN wird in enger Abstimmung mit den Verbünden SINOWATER und URBAN CATCHEMNTS durchgeführt.
