aqueducts (water distribution structures, <hydraulic structures by function>, ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Man-made conduits for carrying water over long distances, usually by means of gravity, particularly structures that include channels and elevated sections on bridgelike structures, optimized by the Romans and based on inventions of earlier cultures. The term derives from Latin aqua, meaning "water," and ducere, meaning "to lead." In modern engineering, the term refers to any system of pipes, ditches, canals, tunnels, and supporting structures used to convey water from its source to its main distribution point. |

Arabic ..... قنوات من صنع الإنسان لنقل المياه لمسافات طويلة، عادة عن طريق الجاذبية، وخاصة الهياكل التي تشمل قنوات وأجزاء مرتفعة على هياكل تشبه الجسور، تم تحسينها من قبل الرومان واستنادا إلى اختراعات الثقافات السابقة. المصطلح مشتق من الكلمة اللاتينية aqua، والتي تعني "الماء"، وducere، والتي تعني "القيادة". في الهندسة الحديثة، يشير المصطلح إلى أي نظام من الأنابيب والخنادق والقنوات والأنفاق والهياكل الداعمة المستخدمة لنقل المياه من مصدرها إلى نقطة التوزيع الرئيسية. |
Chinese (traditional) ..... 可長途輸送水的人工管道,通常利用重力,特別是指羅馬人根據先前文化之發明加以改良所造者,包含渠道及橋狀構造上高架部位的結構物。此詞彙源自拉丁文中的「aqua」,意即「水」,及「ducere」,意為「導引」。在現代工程中,此詞彙指任何將水從其源頭輸送至主要配水點的管線、溝漕、運渠、地道系統及附屬結構物。 |
Dutch ..... Wordt gebruikt voor kunstmatige waterwegen om water over lange afstanden te vervoeren, meestal met behulp van de zwaartekracht; wordt ook gebruikt voor brugachtige bouwwerken die een waterweg of kanaal over een dal, een rivier of een ander obstakel heenvoeren. |
German ..... Von Menschenhand geschaffenes Leitungssystem, um Wasser über weite Entfernungen transportieren zu können, in der Regel mithilfe der Schwerkraft, insbesondere durch Bauwerke, die auch Kanäle und erhöhte Abschnitte mit brückenähnlichen Segmenten umfassen. Dieses Verfahren wurde von den Römern durch Adaption von Techniken aus früheren Kulturen perfektioniert. Die Bezeichnung ist ein Kompositum aus den lateinische Wörtern "aqua" (Wasser) und "ducere" (führen/leiten). (Im modernen Ingenieurwesen sind diesem Begriff jedwedes System aus Röhren, Gräben, Kanälen und Tunnel samt deren tragenden Strukturen subsumiert, in denen Trinkwasser von der Quelle zur Entnahmestelle geleitet wird.) |
Spanish ..... Canal de agua artificial que transporta agua a través de largas distancias, generalmente por medio de la gravedad; y también estructura semejante a un puente que transporta el canal o los canales sobre un valle, río u otro obstáculo. |
