Re: SPANISH WORD "acecia"
The reason why you could not find it in your dictionary is that it is spelt acequia. In Spain it refers to a man-made channel or ditch which has been made for irrigation purposes.
This involves paying an annual fee to a Mancomunidad or Comunidad de Regantes for the maintenance of the pumping equipment and a further payment each time you use it. If you are purchasing a property with land irrigated in such a way it is another thing to check that the payments are up to date for.
In South American Spanish it can mean a natural stream.
