10 mins confidence:
trenches Explanation: This seems a likely option given the description and the context of raised field agriculture/sustainable water use. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2022-07-04 09:10:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Zanja, fosa, cuneta are other Spanish terms that may be used for similar things, depending on the context (roadbuilding, farming…). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2022-07-04 10:18:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- NB: Barbara's suggestion of "walkways" might also be appropriate; it all depends on the rest of the context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2022-07-04 13:30:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- NB: The "banquetas" shown in Althea's Discussion note are ditches or trenches. A "berm" would be formed on either side of the ditch. Berm: flat strip of land, raised bank, or terrace bordering a river or canal. a path or grass strip beside a road. an artificial ridge or embankment, such as one built as a defence against tanks. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2022-07-04 13:31:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also "walkways" is more commonly found in texts dealing with underground water systems, like sewage tunnels.
