  2. Braid bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braid_bar

    Bar Initiation: The braid bar will form following a series of dune amalgamations. As sediments are deposited to form the braid bar, flow in the channel begins to diverge, with the braid bar acting as a wedge. This stage is associated with high flow in the braided river. Bar Growth: Dune amalgamation continues as an accretionary dune front is ...

  3. Soap dispenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_dispenser

    An automatic soap dispenser is specifically a hands-free dispenser of liquid or foam soap, and generally can be used for other liquids such as hand sanitizers, shampoos or hand lotions. They are often battery-powered-powered. Hands-free dispensers for water and soap/hand sanitizer have particular virtues for operating theatres and treatment rooms.

  4. Comparison of pumps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_pumps

    Different types of pumps are suitable for different applications, for example: a pump's maximum lift height also determines the applications it can be used for. Low-lift pumps are only suitable for the pumping of surface water (e.g., irrigation, drainage of lands, ...), while high-lift pumps allow deep water pumping (e.g., potable water pumping ...

  5. Transverse Valleys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_Valleys

    The Transverse Valleys (Spanish: Valles transversales) are a group of transverse valleys in the semi-arid northern Chile. They run from east to west (traversing Chile), being among the most prominent geographical features in the regions they cross. [1] They are located in the Chilean regions of Valparaíso, Coquimbo, and Atacama.

  6. Point bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_bar

    A point bar is an area of deposition where as a cut bank is an area of erosion. Point bars are formed as the secondary flow of the stream sweeps and rolls sand, gravel and small stones laterally across the floor of the stream and up the shallow sloping floor of the point bar.

  7. Automatic soap dispenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_soap_dispenser

    Automatic soap dispenser. An automatic soap dispenser is a device that dispenses a controlled amount of soap solution (or a similar liquid such as a hand sanitizer). They are often used in conjunction with automatic faucets in public restrooms. They function to conserve the amount of soap used and stem infectious disease transmission.

  8. Channel types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_types

    A wide variety of river and stream channel types exist in limnology, the study of inland waters.All these can be divided into two groups by using the water-flow gradient as either low gradient channels for streams or rivers with less than two percent (2%) flow gradient, or high gradient channels for those with greater than a 2% gradient.

  9. Fluvioglacial landform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluvioglacial_landform

    Near the glacier the outwash plain is composed of long bars of coarse gravel with very variable grain size, with a few large channels between the bars. Further away there are transverse bars and a web of many braided channels. The sediment now includes gravel and sand, and the grains are rounder due to sorting and abrasion.
