Italian term

intercettò la falda

Italian to English Science Geology travel brochure
Questa galleria venne creata per far riversare le acque
eccedenti del fiume durante le piene, facendo così si evitavano i pericoli di alluvione per la
valle dell’Adige e la città di Verona. La galleria, che passa sotto il lago di Loppio, intercettò
la falda che lo alimentava con il risultato che il bacino si svuotò.

I translated it as .. backs up the stratum

Is this correct.. cant find la falda in term search

Discussion

Shera Lyn Parpia Mar 21, 2015:
Not sure whether this means that the channel/tunnel was responsible for draining the basin (of what? the lake?) because it somehow cut off the water supply from the aquifer or whether it drained it away. Perhaps you can look at the rest of the text and let us know. The translation may depend on this.
