Šikana se takođe uvek navodi kao element u rezervoaru. Nisam pronašla nigde objašnjenje šta je to - podrazumeva se da ako čitaš proračun za količinu betona znaš i šta je šikana. Prema poreklu reči iz francuskog zaključila bih da je to element u rezervoaru koji služi istoj stvari kao i baffle, da "spreči, omete ili šikanira" vodu da nešto uradi.

Chicane


Explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicane

A chicane is an artificial feature creating extra turns in a road, used in motor racing and on streets to slow traffic for safety. For example, one form of chicane is a short, shallow S-shaped turn, requiring the driver to turn slightly left and then right again to stay on the road, which slows them down.

neutral  Daryo: possibly the right term, but the reference has nothing to do with this ST - it’s not about roads but water reservoirs
