| The upper region of the Camargue, blessed with rich alluvium soil, has been cultivated since the Middle Ages. |
| In contrast, the west side of the basin is marked by a relatively linear contact between uplifted Neogene sedimentary rocks and Quaternary alluvium. |
| Aquifers in wadi alluvium are used by local Bedouin for wells and garden irrigation. |
| Archaeologists can use the evidence of pollen, alluvium, and colluvium to study the past environment. |
| This fact determines low current velocities, massive alluvium deposits and formation of submerged sandbanks. |
| The measured soil parameters at the sites were within the normal range for bottomland hardwood soils of Mississippi River alluvium. |
