Headrace and tailrace channels


Explanation:
Headrace and tailrace channels

uma sugestão, baseada no site abaixo e em alguns sites em inglês

http://webworld.unesco.org/water/ihp/db/glossary/glu/PT/GF12...

PT 0577 Canal de adução = Canal que conduz a água na direcção da turbina.
EN 0577 headrace = Channel or flume which brings water to a water wheel or turbine.

PT 1263 Canal de restituição = Canal que conduz a água proveniente de uma estrutura hidráulica, por exemplo uma turbina ao seu curso inicial.
EN 1263 tailrace = Channel which conducts water away from a water-wheel or turbine.
