| Traditionally, courts in Ontario have distinguished between natural watercourses and the flow of surface waters. |
|
| Very heavy rainfall may lead to flash floods in small watercourses, causing rapid bank erosion and many small landslides and earthfalls. |
|
| I have agreed details to culverting streams, adjacent to the M4 motorway, to allow the canal to be extended over these watercourses. |
|
| A strong emphasis of the judging will be on litter control in the farmyard, farm entrances, fields and watercourses. |
|
| He also urged farmers to regularly inspect drains and watercourses downstream of the farmyard once silage making begins. |
|
| Engineers looking at flood defences, modelling catchments, sewer systems and watercourses take many factors into consideration. |
|
| Some wetlands were drained, as noted above, and rivers and watercourses were canalized. |
|
| They said that pollution from septic tanks of houses in the village was draining into local watercourses. |
|
| Streams and becks were strewn with tree trunks, branches and litter which would all block the watercourses during heavy rain. |
|
| For this reason the broadest possible geographical scope for the law of international watercourses is to be preferred. |
|
| Development continued, with bridges being built over watercourses, pathways being laid out, and ornamental trees and gardens planted. |
|
| The Environment Agency is hoping to be able to issue flood alerts for all major watercourses in the future. |
|
| In dealing with shared or transboundary watercourses a second problem of geographical definition arises. |
|
| Its developers worked in unusual sympathy, preserving the watercourses, mature trees and shoreline that were, and remain, the site's patrimony. |
|
| I notice that the clause states that artificial watercourses are not part of that particular acknowledgment. |
|
| Residents also complained that unchecked and haphazard construction activity came in the way of natural watercourses. |
|
| The United Utilities scheme, to clean up watercourses which run into the River Irwell, began last November. |
|
| The flood-plain reveals diverse patterns of watercourses, trees, hedgerows, and fields. |
|
| Outside of farmyards, bales should neither be stored or opened within 20 metres of watercourses or lakes nor within 50 metres of wells. |
|
| If more effort were put into ensuring rivers and watercourses were properly dredged and cleared of weed and vegetation, it may have helped to contain the water, he said. |
|
|
|
| The district council said that responsibility for clearing watercourses lay with the owners of the land, but the Herald said it seemed no lessons had been learned. |
|
| If more effort were put into ensuring rivers and watercourses were properly dredged and cleared of weed and vegetation, it might have helped to contain the water, he said. |
|
| Another extreme example of habitat adaptation is found in hillstream loaches, which live in the steep, torrential watercourses of Asiatic hillstreams. |
|
| High rainfall washes more animal manure off the land into watercourses. |
|
| On the beach are the watercourses of small rivulets that formed in the rain and are left behind like aerial views of the world's great river deltas. |
|
| Six watercourses in Bradford are the first of three batches of becks and streams in Yorkshire to come under the control of the Environment Agency. |
|
| Most anglers refuse to engage in the severe bushwhacking required to penetrate the thick dense undergrowth surrounding these newly created watercourses. |
|
| In this respect, the development of co-operative regimes for the common management of international watercourses has not yet been sufficiently comprehensive or effective. |
|
| In the Yorkshire Dales and the White Peak the limestone exposure has led to the formation of large underground cave systems and watercourses. |
|
| Nearly all of the islands have lochs, but the watercourses are merely streams draining the high land. |
|
| Aqueducts must span a crossing at the same level as the watercourses on each end. |
|
| Most areas are drained by ephemeral watercourses called wadis, which are dry except during the rainy season. |
|
| Bridges for conveying water, called aqueducts or water bridges are constructed to convey watercourses across gaps such as valleys or ravines. |
|
| These rains sustain summer pastures of grasses and herbs, with dry woodlands and shrublands along seasonal watercourses. |
|
| Eels are extremely mobile and may access habitats that appear unavailable to them, using small watercourses or moving through wet grasses. |
|
| The lack of watercourses within the commune prevents flooding from overflows. |
|
| Flash flooding scours watercourses and uproots all plant life from dry washes. |
|
| This is drying watercourses, shrinking marshes and decimating populatons of Iberian Lynx, otter, Egyptian mongoose and the genet. |
|
| The Bridgewater is often considered to be the first true canal in Britain, as it relied upon existing watercourses as sources of water rather than as navigable routes. |
|
| Avebury lies in an area of chalkland in the Upper Kennet Valley which forms the catchment for the River Kennet and supports local springs and seasonal watercourses. |
|
|
|
| In the central regions, the country's northern mountain ranges give way to shallow plateaus and typically dry watercourses that are referred to locally as the Ogo. |
|
| It is important growers adhere to the current guidelines on metaldehyde use to avoid contaminating watercourses and protect drinking water supplies. |
|
| Many of these watercourses are maintained and managed by local internal drainage boards to ensure sustainable water levels are kept across the vale. |
