Spanish term

pantallas de aguas arriba/aguas abajo

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
Dear all,

I'm having trouble with some technical terms. The document is about the construction of a viaduct. Here is the context for 'pantallas de aguas arriba/aguas abajo':

No se produjeron afecciones significativas a las edificaciones del entorno de la obra, correspondientes a un núcleo urbano antiguo y consolidado, y se recuperó el nivel freático después de la excavación, evitando el efecto barrera mediante conexiones entre los drenes californianos ejecutados en las **pantallas de aguas arriba y de aguas abajo**.


UK audience. Thanks in advance.

Paul.
