Tourism website - walks in Italy, in this case near the Austrian border. Not much more context, I'm afraid. The trail takes you through woods and then crosses a "canale detritico". I imagine it is a canal containing detrital material, but is there a technical term? I've found references to "alluvial canals" but not anything reliable for "detrital canal". Many thanks.
