Also diversion dam and azuda. From Hispanic Arabic assud. Ferris wheel to raise the water of a watercourse. In my perfectly land will say zuda or dam built with stones and Earth in a river to divert him partially into a mill or orchards. In my childhood I bathed me with friends at the zuda that channeled water in winter to the mill below. Both the word and the building are obvious remains of our Arab culture. The Arabs were masters in irrigation systems because the water was and is the most precious gift of nature for them.
