peer agreement (net): +3watermill (with mill race) Explanation: It appears that you can classify mills either by wheel orientation or by where the mills are located. A molino de canal is a mill that diverts the water from the river into a mill race where the water then turns the wheels. En el (molino) de canal, se construía un caz o canal para desviar a través de él la corriente del río. Al principio del canal se podía disponer de una zona de embalse y mediante un sistema de compuertas permitir el acceso del agua al caz. La compuerta también permitía regular el caudal que entraba al canal. El final del canal descargaba al cárcavo o espacio situado bajo el molino, donde se encontraba el rodezno que recibía el chorro de agua y hacía girar toda la maquinaria. https://blog.uclm.es/molinoferrera/pagina-ejemplo/el-molino-... A mill race, millrace or millrun[1] is the current of water that turns a water wheel, or the channel (sluice) conducting water to or from a water wheel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill_race I do realise the watermill (with mill race) is not particularly elegant and I might be tempted just to use watermill, depending on the type of document you are translating. |
