Romanian to English Science Geography cercetare geotehnică
Din precizările referitoare la apa subterană, ataşate unei cercetări geotehnice:

"... nivelele acviferelor au cote diferite, ceea ce face ca la baza taluzului respectiv să apară zone de mustiri sau de izvorâre (de cele mai multe ori difuză) care menţin o umiditate ridicată a terenului adiacent."

seepage

Despre asta cred că e vorba, nu despre sol îmbibat cu apă.

MUSTÍ, pers. 3 mustește, vb. IV. 1. (Despre lichide) A se ivi (din abundență), a ieși la suprafață. 2. A fi plin de sevă sau de alt lichid; a fi îmbibat. – Din must.

seepage, in soil engineering, movement of water in soils, often a critical problem in building foundations. Seepage depends on several factors, including permeability of the soil and the pressure gradient, essentially the combination of forces acting on water through gravity and other factors.
