| salinisation | salinization | |
| salinisation | salinity | |
| salinisation | salting of soil | |
| salinisation du sol | soil salination | |
| salinisation du sol | salinization | |
| salinisation du sol | soil salination (The accumulation of soluble mineral salts near the surface of soil, usually caused by the capillary flow of water from saline ground water. Where the rate of surface evaporation is high, irrigation can exacerbate the problem by moistening the soil and causing water to be drawn from deeper levels as water evaporates from the surface. The evaporation of pure water leaves the salts behind, allowing them to accumulate, and they can reach concentrations that are toxic to plants, thus sterilizing the land) | |
| salinité | salinization | |
| salinité de l'eau | water salinity (The degree of dissolved salts in water measured by weight in parts per thousand) | |
| salinité de l'eau | water salination | |
| salinité du sol | soil salinity | |
| salinité du sol | soil salinity (Measurement of the quantity of mineral salts found in a soil. Many semi-arid and arid areas are naturally salty. By definition they are areas of substantial water deficit where evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation. Thus, whereas in humid areas there is sufficient water to percolate through the soil and to leach soluble materials from the soil and the rocks into the rivers and hence into the sea, in deserts this is not the case. Salts therefore tend to accumulate) | |
| salisson | litterbug | |
| salissure | fouling growth (The adhesion of different marine organisms to the underwater parts of ships, causing the ships to loose speed) | |
| salissure | fouling growth | |
| salissures biologiques | biofouling | |
| salit-tout | litterbug | |
| salle de pompes à vis à l'arrivée | inlet screw pump chamber | |
| salmonelle | salmonellas | |
| salmonelle | salmonella (General name for a family of microorganisms, one of the largest groups of bacteria, that includes those most frequently implicated in food poisoning and gastroenteritis. Unhygienic handling and inadequate cooking of poultry and meat, improper storage of cold meats and, more recently, contamination of battery-reared hen eggs, are the most common sources of salmonella infections) | |
| salubrité urbaine | urban sanitation |
