A trotline is a heavy fishing line with shorter, baited branch lines commonly referred to as snoods suspending down at intervals using clips or swivels, with a hook at the free end of each snood. Trotlines are used in commercial angling and can be set up across a channel , river , or stream to cover an entire span of water.
A crabbing line. Crabbing may be done with a 15-pound (6.8 kg) or heavier monofilament fishing line, a braided fishing line or a length of twine. A 7 ft. or longer hand net may be used to catch the crab as it is lifted from the water. Common baits are chicken (drumstick or chicken neck), fish (mullet (fish), mackerel, squid) or bacon. [2]
Below the water table, in the zone of saturation, layers of permeable rock that yield groundwater are called aquifers. In less permeable soils, such as tight bedrock formations and historic lakebed deposits, the water table may be more difficult to define. “Water table” and “water level” are not synonymous. If a deeper aquifer has a ...
In geotechnical engineering, watertable control is the practice of controlling the height of the water table by drainage.Its main applications are in agricultural land (to improve the crop yield using agricultural drainage systems) and in cities to manage the extensive underground infrastructure that includes the foundations of large buildings, underground transit systems, and extensive ...
A water table is a projection of lower masonry on the outside of a wall, slightly above the ground, or at the top of a wainscot section of a wall (in this case also known as a sill). It is both a functional and architectural feature that consists of a projection that deflects water running down the face of a building away from lower courses or ...

Droplines may be set either down underwater trenches or just into the open water column. They have a weight at the bottom of the line and are fixed to the water surface at least one float at the top. They are usually not as long as longlines and have fewer hooks. Droplines can be contrasted with trotlines. Whereas a dropline has a series of ...
