Note: Refers to long or wide areas of land from which earth has been removed, usually by trenching or excavating. For vertical or deep utilitarian cavities into the earth to extract liquids, use "wells." For shallow wide cavities into the earth for materials extraction or burial, use "pits." |

Additional Notes: |

Dutch ..... Gebruik voor lange of wijde delen van het land van waaruit de aarde is verwijderd, meestal door het graven van sleuven of afgraving. Voor verticale diepe holtes in de aarde om vloeistoffen naar boven te halen, gebruik "putten." Voor ondiepe grote uithollingen in de aarde om materialen te winnne of te begraven, gebruik 'groeven'. |
