Shallow channel reworking


Explanation:
Caballones son canales angostos y poco profundos normalmente asociados a regadío.
Periódicamente hay que limpiarlos para quitar plantas y sedimentos.
Las taipas arroceras se construyen con lo que se saca del la construcción del caballón. En este tipo de plantío tiene otro nombre que no tengo presente al momento.

Las autopistas tienen caballones a ambos lados para drenar agua superficial.

Shallow ditch reworking is a better option.

Los caballones no son los canales sino la acumulación de tierra que va descargando al costado la excavadora.
