Reference: Refs. Reference information: I haven't got a clue what "zona de sombra" is, but these two links have pictures and diagrams and I thought they would be of interest: http://nptel.ac.in/courses/Webcourse-contents/IIT Kharagpur/... https://books.google.com.jm/books?id=Cn7MBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA638&l... Page 638 mentions zona de sombra -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2017-02-18 14:54:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Some additional references, but I still can't figure out what on earth they are referring to: http://community.dur.ac.uk/~des0www4/cal/dams/gloss/glossary... http://water.nv.gov/engineering/Dams/Glossary.cfm https://agriculture.ks.gov/docs/default-source/dwr-ws-fact-s... http://fwee.org/glossary-of-terms-agencies-laws-and-organiza... http://www.swc.nd.gov/pdfs/fema_64_emergency_action_planning... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2017-02-18 19:49:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- That is a very good idea James, as I still don't have a clear picture what the "zona de sombra" is. Good luck. |
