Debris flow definition
Debris flow means a rapidly moving slurry of rock, soil, wood, and water, which is most often initiated by a landslide that delivers to and travels through steep, confined stream channels.
Debris flow means a slurry of rock, soil, organic material, and water transported in an extremely fast and destructive flow down channels and onto
Debris flow means a stream-like flow of muddy water filled with mixed sizes of sediment and rock. Debris flows are generated by sporadic heavy rains on steep slopes.

More Definitions of Debris flow
Debris flow means the rapidly downslope-moving mass of a viscous water- saturated mixture of rock fragments, soil, vegetation, and mud.
Debris flow means a slurry of rock, soil, organic material, and water transported in an extremely fast and destructive flow down channels and onto and across alluvial fans; including a continuum of sedimentation events and processes such as debris flows, debris floods, mudflows, clear-water floods, sheet flooding, and alluvial-fan flooding.
Debris flow means a moving mass of rock fragments, soil, and mud; more than half of the particles being larger than sand size; a general term that describes a mass movement of sediment mixed with water and air that flows readily on low slopes.
Debris flow means the rapid downslope movement descending steep pre-existing drainage channels of water-saturated soil and debris;
Debris flow means a moving mass of rock fragments, soil and mud, more than half of the particles being larger than sand size. Rapid debris flows can move up to 160 kilometers per hour.
Debris flow means the rapidly down-slope-moving mass of a viscous water-saturated mixture of rock fragments, soil, and mud, more than half of the particles being larger than sand size. [Ord. 1170B, 2000; Ord. 1157, 1998; Ord. 1150 §2, 1996]
