Usage Examples English
  • Under the influence of longshore drift, when there is no slack-water phase during backwash flows, sediments can remain suspended to result in offshore sediment transport.
  • These reservoirs are referred to as "slack water levels", often just called "levels".
  • The tugs took the hulk of "Temeraire" in tow at 7:30 am on 5 September 1838, taking advantage of the beginning of the slack water.
  • Difficult channels are also more safely navigated during slack water, as any flow may set a vessel out of a channel into danger.
  • Though the weir at Teddington Weir marks the managed river's usual tidal limit, after prolonged rainfall causing very high fluvial flow, specifically at high tide, a higher limit of slack water (stand of the tide) causes eddies to arise as far upstream as the top of this reach, the next lock.

  • Diving must be carried out at slack water, which is about one and a half hours before high water at Newlyn.
  • This dam impounds the Obey for essentially its entire length, causing slack water well up both major tributaries, the East and West Forks.
  • There is very little protection from the fierce tidal flow, so accurate timing for slack water is required.
  • While in the House he championed railroad legislation and crusaded for aid for slack-water navigation to help the coal, timber, and salt industries in his state.
  • Spring tides result in high waters that are higher than average, low waters that are lower than average, "slack water" time that is shorter than average, and stronger tidal currents than average.

  • This means that slack water between the bridges tends to occur approximately one hour before high tide or low tide.
  • Drift diving is generally not planned to coincide with slack water, but this can vary depending on the strength of the stream.
  • Dredging was required on many of the short canals and slack-water sections to maintain a [...] deep channel.
  • A further problem is caused by diving at slack water; the direction of the current reverses during slack, so although the weight may be securely up current of the obstruction before slack, after the tide turns the weight is down current of the obstruction and may drag.
