A peresyp (пересыпь) or a bay-mouth bar [1] is a narrow sandbar that rises above the water level (like a spit) and separates a liman or a lagoon from the sea.

Sediment erosion and deposition dynamics in estuarine region, consequently the formation and growth of mouth bars, are affected by several natural and artificial factors. . Human activities, such as reservoir construction, large-scale reclamation and embankment construction completely disturb the hydrodynamic balance of the system and permanently interfere with the morphology of mouth bars.
The deposit gave consumers an incentive to return the bottle and "defrayed the cost of the bottle when it was not returned".

[1] By 1947, bottle loss in the United States decreased to about 3 to 4%. [1]

It develops in places where re-entrance occurs, such as at a cove's headlands, by the process of longshore drift by longshore currents. The drift occurs due to waves meeting the beach at an oblique angle, moving ...
Benzene levels are regulated in drinking water nationally and internationally, and in bottled water in the United States, but only informally in soft drinks.
