  2. Damp (structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_(structural)

    A high proportion of damp problems in buildings are caused by ambient climate dependent factors of condensation and rain penetration. [1] Capillary penetration of fluid from the ground up through concrete or masonry is known as "rising damp" and is governed by the shape and porosity of the construction materials through which this evaporation ...

  3. Water damage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_damage

    Class of water damage is determined by the probable rate of evaporation based on the type of materials affected, or wet, in the room or space that was flooded. Determining the class of water damage is an important first step, and will determine the amount and type of equipment utilized to dry-down the structure. [7] Class 1 - Slow Rate of ...

  4. Diagenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagenesis

    Diagenesis (/ ˌ d aɪ. ə ˈ dʒ ɛ n ə s ɪ s /) is the process of physical and chemical changes in sediments first caused by water-rock interactions, microbial activity, and compaction after their deposition. Increased pressure and temperature only start to play a role as sediments become buried much deeper in the Earth's crust. [1]

  5. Flood management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_management

    Water rising above a canal's full capacity may cause flooding to spread to other waterways and areas of the community, which causes damage. Defenses (both long-term and short-term) can be constructed to minimize damage, which involves raising the edge of the water with levees , embankments or walls.

  6. Groundwater-related subsidence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater-related_subsidence

    However, as seen in the figure, pumping-induced draw down causes a depression of the groundwater surface around the production well. This can ultimately affect a large region by making it more difficult and expensive to pump the deeper water. Thus, the extraction of groundwater becomes a tragedy of the commons, with resulting economic ...

  7. Fouling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fouling

    The water is pressurized so that it can be maintained in the liquid state at the elevated temperatures. Scaling or precipitation fouling involves crystallization of solid salts, oxides, and hydroxides from solutions. These are most often water solutions, but non-aqueous precipitation fouling is also known.

  8. Deposition (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(geology)

    Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.

  9. Eutrophication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutrophication

    An example in Tennessee of how soil from fertilized fields can turn into runoff after a storm, creating a flux of nutrients that flow into local bodies of water such as lakes and creeks. Eutrophication is caused by excessive concentrations of nutrients, most commonly phosphates and nitrates, [11] although this varies with location. Prior to ...
