Liman Irrigation System
A Liman (from Greek λιμήν) in Israel is the name for an artificial earthen construction used to collect floodwater by damming a desert wadi. The runoff water is slowed by the dam, thus flooding a small area and allowing the water to infiltrate into the soil. This way, a small groves of trees can be sustained in the desert. The JNF-KKL has been funding the construction of limans in the Negev Desert. Introduction Limans were built in order to fight desertification without depleting groundwater resources, which are becoming increasingly rare in arid ecosystems.Prinz, D. 2002. The role of water harvesting in alleviating water scarcity in arid areas. In Proceedings, International Conference on Water Resources Management in Arid Regions. 23–27 March 2002, 107–122. Kuwait: Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research Available at: Remaining soil humidity can be found in dry river beds (wadis) after rains occur, but these wadis are prone to flash floods.

Liman (landform)
Liman (; ro, liman) is an enlarged estuary formed as a lagoon at the wide mouth of one or several rivers, where flow is constrained by a bar of sediments, as in the Dniester Liman or the Razelm liman. A ''liman'' can be maritime (the bar being created by the current of a sea) or fluvial (the bar being created by the slowed or turned flow of a sediment-saturated river). The term describes many wet estuaries in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov; a synonymous term guba (губа) is used in Russian sources for estuaries of the Russian shores in the north.

Liman Substage
The Illinoian Stage is the name used by Quaternary geologists in North America to designate the period c.191,000 to c.130,000 years ago, during the middle Pleistocene, when sediments comprising the Illinoian Glacial Lobe were deposited. It precedes the Sangamonian Stage and follows the Pre-Illinoian Stage in North America. The Illinoian Stage is defined as the period of geologic time during which the glacial tills and outwash, which comprise the bulk of the Glasford Formation, accumulated to create the Illinoian Glacial Lobe.Willman, H.B., and J.C. Frye, 1970, ''Pleistocene Stratigraphy of Illinois.'' Bulletin no. 94, Illinois State Geological Survey, Champaign, Illinois. It occurs at about the same time as the penultimate glacial period. Definition At its type exposure in Peoria County, Illinois, the Illinoian deposits consist of three till members of the Glasford Formation. They overlay Pre-Illinoian tills of the Banner Formation, in which the Yarmouth Soil (paleosol) has d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
