riverain channel Explanation: I am not sure about what does aqueducto means in English, but in Spanish is a very ancient Roman construction. Moreover, "trasvase" is not actually a construction, but the adjective from the verb "trasvasar", even though you might have seen it use in this way. For "trasvase" I have actually find "divert". You can check it here: http://www.manifestacionvirtual.com/promo_ebro_i.htm#a I hope all this information helps you. Good luck. |
