filling : Depositing dirt, mud or other materials into aquatic areas to create more dry land, usually for agricultural or commercial development purposes, often with ruinous ecological consequences.
L landfilling
Definition (english only)
Deposition of waste on land under controlled conditions.
Filling in or leveling by deposition.
aggregate
A group of soil particles cohering in such a way that they behave mechanically as a unit.
Landfilling The placement of wastes into the land under controlled conditions to minimize their migration or effect on the surrounding environment.
...
This is much slower than the original infiltration rate (during which water was filling mostly empty pores between soil particles).
interstitial fluid
Aqueous solution filling the narrow spaces between cells.
[2]
interstitial pneumonia
Chronic form of pneumonia involving increase of the interstitial tissue and decrease of the functional lung tissue.
Pond: A small natural body of standing fresh water filling a surface depression, usually smaller than a lake.
POP's: Persistent Organic Pollutants, complex compounds that are very persistent and difficultly biologically degradable.
refilling a glass bottle that has been returned or using a coffee can to hold nuts and bolts. Rodenticide - A chemical or agent used to destroy rats and other rodent pests, or to prevent them from damaging food, crops, etc.
Filling these data needs would allow more accurate assessment of human risks from specific substances contaminating the environment.
prime The action of filling a pump casing with water to remove the air. Most pumps must be primed before start up or they will not pump any water.
priming
primitive water ...
groundwater: Groundwater is the water that flows underground filling soil and flowing out into springs and aquifers.
herbivores:Herbivores are plant-eating animals.
Reupholstered: To replace filling materials or materials encasing or covering filling materials on an article of seating furniture.
Slurry walls are constructed by digging a trench around a contaminated area and filling the trench with an impermeable material that prevents water from passing through it.
The weight or volume of materials and products that enter the waste stream before recycling, composting, land filling, or combustion takes place. Also can represent the amount of waste generated by a given source or category of sources.
Waste Generation: The weight or volume of materials and products that enter the waste stream before recycling, composting, landfilling, or combustion takes place.
Reuse: Using a product or component of municipal solid waste in its original form more than once; e.g., refilling a glass bottle that has been returned or using a coffee can to hold nuts and bolts.
Examples would be things like well blowouts, pipeline breaks, ship collisions or groundings, overfilling of gas tanks and bilge pumping from ships, leaking underground storage tanks, ...
Diversion Rate- The percentage of waste materials diverted from traditional disposal such as landfilling or incineration to be recycled, composted, or re-used.
(3) The building of a floodplain by sediment deposition; the filling of a depression or drainageway with sediment; the building of a fan by deposition of an alluvial mantle.
This landowner is adding waste products (boiler ash) to loblolly pine plantations in order to improve site fertility and reduce land filling costs.
Equipment used to apply boiler ash.
Environmental Protection Agency recommendation that promotes solid waste management through an integrated system that uses resource reduction, recycling, waste to energy incineration and landfilling to manage the reclamation, ...
Source reduction can help reduce waste disposal and handling charges because the costs of recycling, municipal composting, landfilling, and combustion are avoided. Source reduction conserves resources and reduces pollution. ...
Integrated Waste Management uses a variety of practices to handle municipal solid waste and can include source reduction, recycling, incineration, and landfilling.
A wholesale societal shift from gasoline to biofuels, given the number of gas-only cars already on the road and the lack of ethanol or biodiesel pumps at existing filling stations, would take some time.
of using several alternative waste management techniques to manage and dispose of specific components of the municipal waste stream. Waste management alternatives include source reduction, recycling, composting, energy recovery, and landfilling.
Techniques include source reduction, recycling, composting, combustion and landfilling. IPCC Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. A scientific, intergovernmental UN-commissioned international working group.
In addition to receiving and handling, and combustion and steam generation, the other major components of a mass burn facility include flue gas cleaning, power generation (optional), condenser cooling water, residue ash hauling, and landfilling.
