German term or phrase: Abrutschungen und lokale Einsenkungen (Abstürze)
Nach [...] weisen etliche Abschnitte der Deiche, die direkt über den alten, meanderartigen Flussläufen errichtet wurden, durch **Abrutschungen und lokale Einsenkungen (Abstürze)** verursachte Schäden auf, die inzwischen größtenteils ausgebessert worden sind.

IATE suggestes "flow erosion" for "Abrutschung".

Einsenkung = depression (?)

Absturz ~ earth slide

TIA!
