hydraulic intersection node
maybe "canal" instead of hydraulic in view of the fact that it's a cycling tour
Wiki & google give the original name as "Tombe Morte" or "Le Formose" in the plural

irrigation node
I suppose it's for irrigating the fields. I'd prefer that to hydraulic or anything like that.

coupling
I think this is the phrase used to described the piece that attaches two other pieces in plumbing.
"Coupling
A coupling connects two pipes to each other. If the material and size of the pipe are not the same, the fitting may be called a 'reducing coupling' or reducer, or an adapter. The term 'expander' is not used for a coupler that increases pipe size; instead 'reducer' is used."
see reference for quote source
fitting if this is a piece that divides/redirects water to the different areas. Not fitting if this is a piece that shuts off the water going to one or more of these different areas.
