Stresses. In no case shall the stress in the concrete under proposed working load exceed 50 kg/cm2, and 70 kg/ cm2, in the case of 1:2:4 and 1:1: 1/2:3 mix respectively steel stresses shall not exceed 2300 kg/cm2 in tension and 1900 kg/cm2; in compression. When the stresses in concrete piles are reviewed. No consideration will be given for the effectiveness of reinforcement.
Stresses the need to review regularly the implementation of relevant resolutions of the Meetings of the Parties within national reports;

Stresses. Waterbird species are most affected by threats that affect them directly, and/ or their habitats. Proportionally, hunting and viruses cause most mortality, and recreational activities and other works cause greatest disturbance. Industrial and military effluents, invasive alien species and fishing & harvesting of aquatic resources cause both mortality and/ or disturbance (Figure 5.3). Most of the habitat changes caused are due to degradation, with a smaller number of threats deemed to be due to conversion (dams and water management, and annual and perennial crops). Among those threats indirectly affecting species, a reduction in reproductive success was the most widely reported in waterbirds, for 197 species-threat combinations overall, and most widely under hunting and trapping, invasive alien species and recreational activities (Figure 5.4). However, proportionally it was temperature extremes and storms & flooding leading to reduced reproductive success that were highest. Competition (20 species-threat combinations) and hybridization (6 species-threat combinations) were the other stresses reported as indirectly affecting species.
Stresses the urgency of enhanced ambition in order to ensure the highest possible mitigation and adaptation efforts by all Parties;
