El agua potable que se extraía de las minas se recibía en grandes atarjeas filbractoras, de donde partían cañerías de fierro para todas las calles de la población.

teju: 6:51pm Mar 16, 2007: Civil Engineering and Construction dictionary. Atarjea - drainpipe, small culvert. The other meanings don't apply to mining. I can't find the other word. HIH.
Smartranslators: 6:55pm Mar 16, 2007: Yo creo que es un "typo" de "filtradoras". Si es así, la traducción del término sería: "water-filtering culverts". Abajo te pongo una referencia para tu comprobación... Saludos,

filtering tanks/reservoirs

Explanation:
'tarjea' is given as reservoir in Robb, origen Peru. This makes more sense than culvert. How would you filter water in a culvert??

To filter water it has to be passed through an in-line filter or allowed to seep through sand or other material in a container or tank. This why the text says 'there are pipes connected to it'.

culverts (sewer/drain/troughing)

Explanation:
De momento te puedo facilitar la traducción de "atarjeas".

Seguiré investigando... pero lo de "filbractoras" no lo he visto por ningún lado.

Estoy pensando si no será un "typo" de "filtradoras", ya que se trata de un sistema de drenaje/alcantarillado/desagüe, etc... en cuyo caso, la traducción sería: "water-filtering culverts".

Asker: ¿Será algun error entonces? Yo tampoco lo encontraba en ningun lado... ¡Gracias!

Asker: ¡No vi su comentario sobre "filtradoras" -- creo que tiene que ser porque el agua fue algo contaminada. Gracias de nuevo...

Asker: Smarttrans: Thanks again for the help. In the end, I realized that the only reference to "filtering culverts" was the one from Washington State, so I think I need to go with Big Ed's answer, but I do appreciate your help. Patricia
