Translation of "Schluff" in English

That's silt, like a dry riverbed.

Besides, it needs to be clean from silt every year.

The composition of the subsurface soil is loose with small quantities of sand and silt.

The soil consists of a mixture of silt and clay with calcareous sediments.

Otherwise, instead of water, you risk silt, sand and air.

Particle size is inconsistent, often containing sand, silt and clay.

In the Canal Dock the silt is to be replaced by sand at the behest of the client.

The river often has glacial silt in suspension in the water from glaciers in the Southern Alps.

Twice daily the tide brings sand, clay and silt into the Wadden Sea.

Schluff is Krefeld's historic steam locomotive and one of the oldest private railways in Germany.

The medium in which the structure forms is usually coarse silt, but it also appears in all grades of sand.

The sediment consisting of sand or silt is therefore preferably discontinuously drawn out of the collecting chamber.

In addition there are soils predominantly built from clay/tone, silt or sand particles.

Having been built in Boston's Back Bay, which was originally a mud flat, Trinity rests on some 4500 wooden piles, each driven through 30 feet of gravel fill, silt, and clay, and constantly wetted by the water table of the Back Bay so they do not rot if exposed to air.

A wet underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, silt, or clay) from which groundwater can be usefully extracted using a water well.

The proportions of its different components, mainly sand, silt and clay particles, organic matter, water and air, as well as the way in which these components form together a stable structure, define a soil’s character.

Information on characteristics of the natural soil used, e.g. origin of soil or its constituents, pH, organic carbon content, particle size distribution (percent sand, silt, and clay), and water holding capacity (WHC), should be known before the start of the test (3) (48).

Natural soils should be characterised at least by origin (collection site), pH, organic carbon content, particle size distribution (percent sand, silt, and clay), maximum water holding capacity (WHCmax), and percent water content (3).

Very common are wind-formed ablation or accumulation landforms, because during the glacial periods, the wind could easily blow sand and silt away due to the lack of a layer of vegetation.

Under the above mentioned pulverulent mineral materials which below and in the patent claims for short are designated by the term "rubbish" there is understood natural and synthetic mineral materials such as fly ash, combustion residues, other pulverulent or fine sand containing residues from dry, wet and electro dust removing plants, silt and clay containing wash residues from grit and quarry stone plants, rubbish materials from grinding processes and other finely divided inorganic and organic residues of any type.
