Building & Civil Engineering | Erosion which occurs in the upstream end of the valley of a stream, causing it to lengthen its course in such direction ; lengthening and cutting upstream of a young valley or gully above the original source of its stream, effected by erosion of the upland at the valley head; it is accomplished by rainwash, gullying, spring sapping and the slumping of material into the head of the growing. Source: European Union. (references) |
