Inundations
| Глоссарий морской лексики и терминологии (английский язык) |
In ancient egypt officers estimated the case of sufferers from the inundations of the nile. the changes of property in bengal, by alluvion, are equally attended to. inundation is also a method of impeding the approach of an enemy, by damming up the course of a brook or river, so as to intercept the water, and set the neighbourhood afloat. in egypt the plan was diametrically opposite; for by flooding lake mareotis, our gunboats were enabled greatly to annoy the french garrison at alexandria.
