Le milieu confiné est celui dont les exutoires sont déficients : la permanence du niveau des eaux est alors assurée par l'évaporation. Mais les produits apportés en solution, au lieu de s'évacuer, se concentrent. On parle de milieu fermé, confiné, mal drainé, ou de milieu d'accumulation. 2, record 1, French, - milieu%20confin%C3%A9
