see below Explanation: BOUES (sea, canals) = sludge (deposit) = sediment (sewage) = (sewage) sludge CURAGE (tanks, drains) = clearing-out, cleaning-out (well) = cleaning-out DECHETS = waste Thus, it depends what is being cleaned out/cleared out, you can refer to the 'boues' as 'sludge' or 'sediment'. You could probably even refer to it as 'deposit' or 'waste'. Hope this helps a little. Nikki Robert & Collins |
