About: Coulee

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Coulee, or coulée (/ˈkuːleɪ/ or /ˈkuːliː/) is a term applied rather loosely to different landforms, all of which refer to a kind of valley or drainage zone. The word coulee comes from the Canadian French coulée, from French couler 'to flow'. The term is often used interchangeably in the Great Plains for any number of water features, from ponds to creeks. In the northwestern United States, coulee is defined as a large, steep-walled, trench-like trough, which also include spillways and flood channels incised into the basalt plateau.

  • Coulee, or coulée (/ˈkuːleɪ/ or /ˈkuːliː/) is a term applied rather loosely to different landforms, all of which refer to a kind of valley or drainage zone. The word coulee comes from the Canadian French coulée, from French couler 'to flow'. The term is often used interchangeably in the Great Plains for any number of water features, from ponds to creeks. In southern Louisiana the word coulée (also spelled coolie) originally meant a gully or ravine usually dry or intermittent but becoming sizable during rainy weather. As stream channels were dredged or canalized, the term was increasingly applied to perennial streams, generally smaller than bayous. The term is also used for small ditches or canals in the swamp. In the northwestern United States, coulee is defined as a large, steep-walled, trench-like trough, which also include spillways and flood channels incised into the basalt plateau. (en)
  • Coulee (o coulée) ( /ˈkuːleɪ/ or /ˈkuːliː/)​ es un término aplicado en Geomorfología, principalmente en Estados Unidos y Canadá, a diferentes accidentes geográficos, todos ellos referentes a una clase de valle o zona de drenaje. La palabra coulee procede del francés canadiense coulée, a su vez derivado del francés couler, que significa discurrir una corriente. En español a veces se usa simplemente colada. El término es a menudo usado intercambiablemente en las Grandes Llanuras para cualquier accidente de agua, desde los estanques hasta los arroyos. En el sur de Luisiana, la palabra coulée (también escrita coolie) originalmente significaba una zanja o barranca usualmente seca o intermitente, pero con un caudal considerable durante la época de lluvias. A medida que esos canales de agua fueron drenados o articialmente canalizados, el término se aplicó cada vez más a los , generalmente más pequeños que los bayous. El término también es usado para pequeñas zanjas o canales en el pantano.​En el noroeste de los Estados Unidos, coulee se define como un canal grande, de laderas empinadas, similar a una zanja, que comúnmente son aliviaderos y incisos en la meseta de basalto.​ (es)
