Example Sentences:
(1) A method has been developed which permits reliable detection of low numbers of poliovirus infective units in anaerobic digester sludge and dewatered composted sludge.
(2) But he said: “If you dewater the sands you can put the water back into holes; if you dewater the clay you dewater the holes, and you can’t get the water back in it because you can’t refill the clay.” That is, even if El Niño does bring heavy rains, there is no natural way to store the water.

(5) The particulate-bound PCDDs and PCDFs are found in trace amounts in the effluent from ground water pumping (dewatering) at an abandoned wood preservation facility.
(6) Instead, this effect appeared to have been caused by protective substances in the sludge, such as detergents, which are concentrated through dewatering.
