1 hr confidence:   baja e irrigada hinterland
Explanation:
HINTERLAND
Voz alemana usada muy corrientemente, que significa tierra interior. Suele designarse así la zona lindante con algún establecimiento colonial costero, donde se proyecta la soberanía o influencia del dominio imperial. También se aplica a la zona que está en contacto más directo con un puerto determinado y que nutre su comercio de importación o exportación. Así, por ejemplo, el hinterland de Buenos Aires es prácticamente todo el territorio central y norte argentino y parte de Bolivia y Paraguay, mientras que el del puerto de Pará es la gran cuenca del Amazonas y del Tocantin y el de Antofagasta es el norte de Chile y parte de la Argentina y Bolivia.
