peer agreement (net): +1lavaggio/ripulitura/spurgo (di canali di scolo) Explanation: A culvert can be: (i) A covered channel up to about 4 m width or a large pipe for carrying a watercourse below ground level, usually under a road or railway; (ii) A tunnel through which water is pumped from or flows into. Now, e.g., a flushing manhole is a manhole which periodically fills with water that is _discharged suddenly_ into a sewer to prevent it from becoming septic.
