The foil is shaped in such a way that it generates lift as water flows over and under it. This lift counteracts the weight of the vessel, reducing the amount of hull surface area in contact with the water. As a result, hydrofoils decrease hydrodynamic drag, allowing the vessel to glide more efficiently through the water. 3, record 1, English, - hydrofoil

Ballast water is fresh or saltwater held in the ballast tanks and cargo holds of ships. It is used to provide stability and maneuverability during a voyage when ships are not carrying cargo, not carrying heavy enough cargo, or when more stability is required due to rough seas. Ballast water may also be used to add weight so that a ship sinks low enough in the water to pass under bridges and other structures. 2, record 2, English, - ballast%20water

There are a large number of peat dikes in the Netherlands. The humidity level of the peat determines the sturdiness and stability of such a dike. If a peat dike is too wet, it can collapse under its own weight. In a peat dike that is too dry, there is a risk of erosion and soil compaction. If the peat dries out completely, it even becomes water resistant and does not absorb water anymore at all. 2, record 4, English, - peat%20dike

A small seepage around the packing gland is desirable for lubrication of the piston and should not be confused with a leak at this point. In case of leakage at the packing gland as evidenced by excessive fluid seepage or by air bubbles when soapy water is applied, the packing nut should be tightened firmly but not excessively. However, before tightening air pressure must be released, weight of airplane removed from the strut, and all safeties removed from the packing nut. The packing cannot be tightened properly under pressure, and if normal tightening does not stop the leakage, the packing must be replaced. 2, record 11, English, - packing%20gland
