Spanish term or phrase: sección de aporte
Para determinar la separación entre los puntos de descarga se considerará una ***sección de aporte*** de 12 m de ancho (1.5 m banquina interna + 7.2 m calzada + 2.5 m banquina externa), con un coeficiente de escorrentía de 1 (escurrimiento del 100%) y un tiempo de concentración igual o mayor que 10 minutos, lo cual resultará en separaciones dependientes de la pendiente i% del camino para un período de recurrencia de 25 años (del mismo orden que el de las alcantarillas) y una precipitación R10 de 200 mm/h para un tiempo de concentración de 10 minutos, según la relación adoptada en el Método Racional Generalizado de Rühle.
La expresión de aplicación combina el caudal de aporte según el Método Racional Clásico y la capacidad del canal según la expresión de Chézy-Manning para canales

Seems to be the area considered to calculate the amount of water to be fed to every discharge point (or also the necessary separation between contiguous discharge points).
