(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A Bund is a provision of liquid collection facilities which, in the event of any leak or spillage from tanks or pipe work, will capture well in excess of the volume of liquids held within the bund area. Bunded areas should drain to a capture tank which should have facilities for water/oil separation.
The Bund was the name generally used for the General Jewish Labor Union, a Jewish political party in Eastern Union, particularly in Poland, in the pre-Holocaust era. It was socialist in orientation and supported Jewish cultural autonomy, including the recognition of Yiddish as a national language.
The Bund was the name used for the German-American Bund, a pro-Nazi organisation of ethnic Germans in the United States before World War II.
The Bund is a famous street in Shanghai, China
