Spanish term or phrase: bocatoma

Estoy traduciendo un curriculum de una persona peruana que cita como experiencia laboral el haber trabajado en el proyecto de "bocatoma" no da mas detalle. Me imagino que fue algo importante o conocido en Peru pero no se como se traduce al espanol. El RAE define bocatoma como: "Abertura o boca que hay en una presa para que por ella salga cierta porción de agua destinada al riego o a otro fin." Se referira a un "dam"? algun companero peruano o no peruano que me asista por favor.. gracias !! =)
