or ADJUTAGE. A conical tube used in drawing water through an aperture, by the use of which the quantity of water drawn is much increased. When a privilege to draw water from a canal, through the forebay or tunnel, by means of an aperture, has been granted, it is not lawful to add an ajutage, unless such was the intention of the parties.
