Italian term or phrase: intercettò la falda
Questa galleria venne creata per far riversare le acque
eccedenti del fiume durante le piene, facendo così si evitavano i pericoli di alluvione per la
valle dell’Adige e la città di Verona. La galleria, che passa sotto il lago di Loppio, intercettò
la falda che lo alimentava con il risultato che il bacino si svuotò.

I translated it as .. backs up the stratum

Is this correct.. cant find la falda in term search
