Geography
Spanish term or phrase: Veda
"Veda" usually refers to a ban on or closed season for fishing and/or hunting. However, this seems to have something to do with water resources. Text:

Entre las zonas de veda se tiene la region de XX, ampliación de la que se decretó para XX; se trata de una veda rígida. En las zona de XX hay una situación de veda intermedia, con la que se trata de reservar los aquifers para satisfacer las demandas de agua potable en los centros de población.

Explanation:
I think the idea has to be preserved that a 'veda' is and on-and-off thing, not year round.
