Art/Literary - Agriculture / palmeral | | Spanish term or phrase: arrobas | En un palmeral hay acequias, canales de irrigación, brazales, y arrobas que transportan el agua que se toma del río. Me despista lo de arrobas, he encontrado que es una medida, ´pero aqui, por el contexto, parece más bien algo sólido, como un canal, no sé.
Gracias por la ayuda |

| | secondary irrigation ditches | Explanation:
It would appear to be a classification of irrigation ditch, one that gets its water from the main irrigation ditch or channel (which gets it from the river):
Tal y como indican las Ordenanzas para el gobierno y la distribución de las aguas que riegan la Huerta de la Ciudad de Orihuela y otros pueblos sujetos al juzgado privtivo de la misma, en dicho regadío el nombre de acequia se ha reservado tradicionalmente y guarda para las acequias madres o mayores, que toman directamente sus caudales del Rio Segura o reciclan los de azarbes; de ellas se alimentan ***las acequias menores o arrobas*** y de estas los brazales, sangrados a su vez por las hijuelas.

In the Inkomati river valley, 12.7 km of primary irrigation and drainage ditches, and 15.6 km of secondary ditches were rehabilitated, benefiting roughly 1,650 members of co-operatives in that area

In Nueces County, there are approximately 13 miles (5 miles of main ditch and 8 miles of secondary ditches) of unlined surface water conveyance ditches for irrigation within the Nueces County Water Conservation and Improvement District (WCID) No. 3.
