About: Muddy flood

An Entity of Type: Flood111454591, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

A muddy flood is produced by an accumulation of run-off over agricultural land. Sediments are picked up by the run-off and carried as suspended matter or bed-load. Muddy floods are typically a hill-slope process, and should not be confused with mudflows produced by mass movements. Muddy floods can damage the road infrastructure and may deposit layers of mud blanket and may also clog sewers and damage private property. It has been referred to 'muddy floods' since the 1980s. A similar designation appeared in French ('inondations boueuses') during the same period.

  • Une inondation boueuse résulte d'une accumulation de ruissellement, généré au niveau de terres agricoles, qui emporte au passage des particules de terre qu'il transporte comme matière en suspension ou charge de fond. Ce ruissellement boueux est détecté lorsqu'il aboutit dans des zones habitées. Les inondations boueuses (muddy floods en anglais) constituent dès lors un processus de pente. Il convient de ne pas les confondre avec des coulées de boue (mudflows en anglais), qui sont dues à des mouvements de transport en masse. Les principaux dégâts engendrés par les inondations boueuses affectent les infrastructures routières (dépôt d'une couche de boue sur la route, colmatage des égouts) et les habitations privées (inondation des caves et jardins, voire du rez-de-chaussée des maisons dans certains cas). L'appellation française "inondation boueuse" est utilisée depuis les années 1980. C'est aussi à cette époque que l'appellation anglaise de muddy floods a fait son apparition. (fr)
