German to English translations [PRO] Science - Geology
German term or phrase:Murschotten
This is an old (1901) text "Wasserbewegung durch Boden" von Prof. Dr. Ph. Forchheimer in Graz:
Für Schotter, der bei den Wasserwerkbrunnen oberhalb Graz gewonnen wurde, ergaben Trogversuche, dass sich a = 3.86/105 * v + 1.053/106 * v2 and = 5.258/106 * v1,7xx setzen lasse, a:b also = 37 sei. Ferner teilte Prof. Teischinger dem Verfasser freundlichst mit, dass er im Murschotter durch Messungen am Grazer Sackkai, in Frohnleiten und in Puntigam bei Graz in Baugruben den Zufluss = 1.15 F x5/6 ltr/sek gefunden habe, so dass nach ihm im Murschotter a = mv1,2 wäre.
Explanation: Isn't the ‘Mur’ part of the compound purely and simply the Mur River that flows through Graz? Schotter is most certainly in this context “gravel” or “pebble gravel”.
