Aqueduct Explanation: I think the term aqueduct would fit very well here. The diagram in the link shows water being channeled into the waterwheel area through an aqueduct system.

watermill pond Explanation: cubo http://dle.rae.es/?id=BWd02bp|BWdCFyL 6. m. Estanque que se hacía en los molinos para acumular agua a fin de mover la muela. El original combina castellano y gallego de forma confusa (EMO) y en el gráfico señala como (9) 'cubo' que --a todas luces-- es una "toma", no un "estanque", salvo que --por los colores-- aluda a un estanque en la poarte superior derecha del gráfico. |

peer agreement (net): +1cistern Explanation: or tank. I think (despite the diagram in the reference) that this refers to the place the water is stored. The cistern was supplied by the waters of a spring that still exists today. Through a long raceway the water was gathered in the triangular cistern and was channelled to the mill's pit, inside the tall, scaled water-tower. http://www.pyrgos.org/en/antiquities-len/watermill-len |
