What does FLUME mean in Scrabble?
noun
An artificial channel that carries water, often down a slope, or a water-slide ride built along such a channel.
A flume is a built channel, usually made of wood, metal or concrete, that carries water down a hillside to power a mill, float logs to a sawmill, or simply drain water away from a work site. The same design, scaled up and fitted with a boat, gives amusement parks the log flume ride, where riders drop down a steep, water-filled trough. Because a flume follows a fixed, engineered path, the word is also used loosely for any narrow gorge that channels a fast stream.
How FLUME is used
Used both for working water channels in engineering and mining, and for the log flume rides found at amusement parks.
- Loggers once floated timber down a wooden flume to the river.
- The children screamed with delight on the flume ride.
- Engineers built a flume to carry meltwater around the dam site.
- Water rushed through the narrow flume between the rocks.
- The old mill flume still channels water from the stream.
