Tourism & Travel | | Italian term or phrase: buse | I depositi delle sabbie alle foci creano le buse, i tratti di mare si trasformano in sacche che vengono chiuse da scanni di sabbia per farne lagune.
(si parla dell'area di Rovigo) |
| | | channels | Explanation:
Hiya Franco!
"Buse" are river delta channels, leading to the sea. The changing sand deposits create deeper and shallower areas, and, over time, sometimes change the direction of the flow of water toward the Adriatic. This said, you might want to include the word "buse" as it occurs in the names of many of the Po delta's channels.
Here are a couple of pages for you to compare/contrast your doc for use and context:

(nice explanation of deltas w/ lots of useful geo. lang:)

Hope this helps! :)

forse a causa della differente consistenza del suolo quando piove si creano bucchi proprio nei depositi di sabbia....Ma il dialetto di Rovigo nonlo so (se la parola dusa investe anche altri significati...)

Asker: ma perché un deposito di sabbia dovrebbe creare dei buchi?
