sand erosion? |

sand demand Explanation: Funny word. Here's a nice explanation of what's happening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuY5Def3XYA http://www.nedeco.nl/blogposts/208 "Dredging of the lagoon and Commodore Channel creates extra sediment accommodation space, leading to a potential for sediment deposition. The system therefore gets a so-called sand demand (or in Dutch: ‘zandhonger’) and starts acting as a sediment sink." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2012-01-24 01:04:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also from: http://www.climateproofareas.com/output/investments "On the south coast the island Schouwen duiveland is bordered by the estuary “Oosterschelde” The intertidal area of the Oosterschelde, which is a national park in the Netherlands and a Natura 2000 site of European importance, is subject to structural erosion. The hydromorphology of the Oosterschelde is out of balance due to the construction of the storm surge barrier and auxiliary dams of the Delta Project. This structural erosion is known as the “sand demand” of the Oosterschelde. The sand demand has a direct effect on the natural values of this natura2000 areas and a longer term effect on flood defense." |

bank/sand erosion into ditch Explanation: See the example; I think this describes more or less what is meant in Dutch. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 dagen (2012-01-28 15:44:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think "bank erosion" is the best solution here (as the Dutch context is about "platen") but "sand erosion" may also be possible as the Dutch term is "zandhonger". Example sentence(s):
