Contour ditch irrigation is also known as wild flooding. It consists of a series of ditches spaced 25 to 100 m apart. There is a slight slope along these ditches and usually, the downslope bank is lower so that the water, when checked, is not restrained from flowing into the field along the entire ditch. Sometimes, water release into the field is accomplished by making cuts through the down-slope bank or using siphons. Theoretically, in contour ditch irrigation the water moves down the slope as a uniform sheet. Successive ditches located down the slope pick up the surface runoff and redistribute it to lower portions of the field. 4, record 1, English, - contour%20ditch%20irrigation

Irrigation par rigoles de niveau. Cette méthode consiste à inonder abondamment le sol à partir de fossés disposés à peu près selon la courbe de niveau et espacés de 75 à 300 pi (23 à 90 m) l'un de l'autre. Comme cette méthode exige beaucoup de main-d'œuvre pour n'assurer qu'une faible efficacité, elle ne devrait être utilisée qu'en attendant de terminer le nivellement du terrain pour adopter une méthode plus efficace. 3, record 1, French, - irrigation%20par%20rigoles%20de%20niveau

L'irrigation par rigoles de niveau ou par rases : les rigoles de niveau s'utilisent en régions de montagnes sur des terrains à forte pente (jusqu'à 25 %) ou accidentés. Les rases constituent une variante pour les terrains à faible pente. On doit donner de la pente aux rigoles qui ne sont plus parallèles mais légèrement obliques par rapport aux courbes de niveau. 4, record 1, French, - irrigation%20par%20rigoles%20de%20niveau

The avalanche ran through the monitored site entirely, affecting the ski run below for a track of 50 m where it stopped its run leaving a deposit consisting of round-shaped blocks behind.... through a survey after the event, a series of very detailed nivologic information were collected... In particular strata profiles in proximity to the release zone and in correspondence to the major deposits along the gliding zone and the accumulation zone were carried out. Along the whole avalanche site a series of transverse sections were considered. In correspondence to these, values of the snow cover height were checked and analyses of stratigraphy of the snow cover able to single out snow masses which had been drifted by wind and deposited by the progressing avalanche. 1, record 5, English, - nivologic

Pour les tester, nous avons retenu les critères se rapportant au type de grains (neige fraîche à l'exception des couches comprenant surtout des étoiles, ou particules reconnaissables), à l'épaisseur de neige nouvelle (plus de 9 cm au cours des 5 journées précédentes) et à la masse volumique (plus de 75 kg/m3). 1, record 5, French, - nivologique
