#clogging

• Silting up — The act of clogging and its result; a natural or accidental process through which a riverbed or drainage channel becomes blocked due to the massive accumulation of alluvium, silt, gravel, and woody debris transported by floods. This phenomenon causes a reduction in the flow cross-section and the silting up of the watercourse.
• To silt up — A rare verbal form or conjugation variant describing the process of accumulating alluvium, silt, and vegetative debris in a riverbed; to silt up or become blocked due to deposits brought by floods. As a transitive form, it defines the current's action of transporting and heaping solid materials at a critical point of the watercourse.
• Silting up — The act of silting up and its result; a lexical variant for the natural process of clogging and obstructing a riverbed or channel through the accumulation of alluvium, sediments, and plant debris. It represents the dynamic nominalization of the verb 'a agesti'.
• Silting up — A rare lexical or derivative variant for the act of silting up or clogging; the dynamic process of accumulation and natural damming of a riverbed through alluvium, fine sediments, silt, and plant debris transported by floods. This phenomenon causes a structural modification of the cross-sectional profile of the watercourse.
• Fouling — The act of fouling and its result; a structural process of accumulation and deposition of a layer of carbon deposits, oily residues, soot, or impurities on the inner surfaces of mechanisms or industrial facilities. The phenomenon reduces thermal efficiency, decreases the useful section of pipes, and can cause serious failure of internal combustion engines.
• Plugged — Having undergone the process of astupare; an opening, pit, channel, or container that has been closed, covered, blocked, or sealed using a stopper, lid, soil, or other material. In a medical or technical sense, it describes an anatomically or structurally obstructed pathway or pipe, preventing the normal flow of fluids or air.
