soakage

The name comes from a place called 'Putula' near the community, which used to be the site of a water soakage.

Knowing the exact location of each soakage was very valuable knowledge.

Another effect of dielectric absorption is sometimes described as "soakage".

A soakage, or soak, is a source of water in Australian deserts.

Dielectric absorption (soakage)

Although an ideal capacitor would remain at zero volts after being discharged, real capacitors will develop a small residual voltage, a phenomenon that is also called "soakage".

Gloria Petyarre (b. 1945, Atnangkere Soakage, Northern Territory) is an Australian Aboriginal artist from the Anmatyerre community, just north of Alice Springs.

The river passes through a number of permanent and semi-permanent waterholes including Poothapootha waterhole, Emu Bone waterhole, Wurdoopoothanie waterhole and Kalawarranna soakage.

There is no drainage upon this perfect level; thus, during the rainy season, the soakage actually melts the soil, and forms deep holes throughout the country, which then becomes an impenetrable slough, bearing grass and jungle.

Kathleen Petyarre was born at Atnangkere, an important water soakage for Aboriginal people on the western boundary of Utopia Station, 150 miles north-east of Alice Springs in Australia's Northern Territory.

There are no streams that flow into or out the lake, water is only lost through soakage and evaporation and only replenished through rainfall, the level can fluctuate up to 4 metres between wet and dry seasons.

These excavations have unearthed laterite structures of medieval period in the form of: a U shaped structure with a "cloister all around" with a circular soakage pit adjoining it; and a water tank connected with channels.

A problem with wooden-hulled flying-boats was additional weight incurred by water soakage, and like other companies, Blackburn designed a metal hull for the Iris to which the original superstructure was added, while uprated Condor IIIA engines were installed.

While the Cromarty had performed well in its limited service, one problem (as with all wooden hulled flying boats) was soakage of water into the hull, with as much as 600 lb (270 kg) of water absorbed after a few weeks of service.

On Wednesday afternoon, with a miserable forecast better suited to an afternoon in a library or a theater, about 50 diehard kids of varied ethnic backgrounds - down from the hundreds who would gather on a typical July day - lingered about the docks in various degrees of soakage.

The Iris performed well on the tour, particularly compared to the Valkyrie, which suffered much heavier water soakage than expected as well as engine problems, and the Air Ministry issued Specification R.31/27 for an improved version of the Iris, to act as a long range supplement to the smaller Southampton.
