Selected
une élévation délicate
S' il s' agit en effet de dénivellation, ceci est à mon avis une option.
Example sentence:
.D.F. et son implantation en limite de la zone urbaine rendent son élévation délicate
The road, as it is, is a study in topography more than anything else simply because of a lack of drainage under it. The answer to this, for decades, has been to simply add more pitch to the surface.
