QUÉ SIGNIFICA DAM EN INGLÉS

Presa

Dam

Una presa es una barrera que impide el agua o corrientes subterráneas. Las represas generalmente sirven al propósito principal de retener el agua, mientras que otras estructuras tales como compuertas o diques se usan para manejar o prevenir el flujo de agua en regiones de tierra específicas. La hidroelectricidad y la hidroelectricidad de bombeo-almacenamiento se utilizan a menudo junto con las presas para generar electricidad. Una presa también se puede utilizar para recoger agua o para el almacenamiento de agua que se puede distribuir uniformemente entre lugares. La palabra "presa" se remonta al Medio Inglés, y antes de eso, desde el Medio Holandés, como se ve en los nombres de muchas ciudades antiguas.

A dam is a barrier that impounds water or underground streams. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions. Hydropower and pumped-storage hydroelectricity are often used in conjunction with dams to generate electricity. A dam can also be used to collect water or for storage of water which can be evenly distributed between locations. The word dam can be traced back to Middle English, and before that, from Middle Dutch, as seen in the names of many old cities.
