Culvert

The culvert empties out behind my house.

We installed a new culvert to improve drainage.

The culvert was clogged with debris.

Tom crawled through the culvert.

A raft of twigs stayed upon a stone, suddenly detached itself, and floated towards the culvert.

After she left, I ran away for a day, and hid myself, solitary, in a culvert under the railway lines.

It was on the leisurely upswing when, 16 years after we bought our house, a woman driving a fancy S.U.V. jumped the culvert, plowed through the hedge, jumped the culvert again and sped off.

This led to a great deal of straightening and culverting, which in turn led to a massive loss of biodiversity.
