Normal Water Level (NWL) – For a reservoir with a fixed overflow, means the lowest crest level of that overflow. For a reservoir whose outflow is controlled wholly or partly by movable gates, siphons or other means, it is the maximum level to which water may rise under normal operating conditions, exclusive of any provision for flood surcharge. For a closed depression wetland, it is the maximum level to which the water may rise under normal precipitation conditions exclusive of any provision for flood surcharge.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Edward Tully : I can't see "agua" in the original acronym and I can't see your translation for the "c" in the second - it's quite clear that MN stands for "máximo nivel", the only difference is the type. Your translation IMHO, does not answer this question.

That is because, IMHO, the correct translations for these terms are not literal. The "c" refers to crecidas, in other words when there is flooding. This is the maximum water level in English.
