Art/Literary - Agriculture / Farming | | English term or phrase: canvas dam | | We'd walk the canal banks together, me in hip boots in the waist-deep water, sparks flying from my shovel blade as I chiseled slots into the rocky ground to divert water with canvas dams. |
| | | Stoffdämme/Dämme aus Stoffplanen | Explanation:
canvas ist ja eigentlich Leinenstoff, aber hier scheint es mir wichtig zu sein, dass der Damm aus Stofftüchern oder Planen (und nicht aus Steinen oder Holz) gemacht ist. |
