1 hr confidence: 
scouring Explanation: caused by grit and other waste material carried along the pipe by the waste water. Grooves or grooving would be other possibilities -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 10 mins (2004-03-08 11:41:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Schlacke can loosely be applied to almost any kind of rubbish, from the slag produced as a by-product of smelting to the sort of waste that can be carried off a road-surface and down the drains - mostly grains of sand, earth and gravel-chippings off the road. |
