English term or phrase: Incident Waterway
Context is about some incident report forms to be filled out. After "Incident Waterway", there is another question which is: "How do we get there? (Please provide location details, directions or landmarks)".

I don't know if "Canal del Incidente" is the right term to be used in Spanish.

Any suggestions?

disagree  Neil Ashby: "waterway" here does not refer to a path (as in "curso, seguimiento, protocolo, camino"), it refers to a canal, river, stream, etc... a waterway.

incident waterway
vías navegables hasta el lugar del accidente ¿cómo acceder al mismo?


Explanation:

A no ser que waterway tenga un sentido más general, en principio me iría por esta interpretación:

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/waterway
diccionario Ernst 2004: waterway = vía navegable, vía fluvial, canal...

Espero que ayude

agree  Neil Ashby: "El vía navegable/canal que daba lugar al incidente: como acceder el mismo?" Creo que falta como un título "El vía navegable/canal que daba lugar al incidente" (pero tal vez más sucinto) segida por la pregunta "como llegamos?" saludos ;@)

  -> Gracias Neil, muy amable, difícil de decir con el contexto disponible...
agree  JohnMcDove: Tal vez: "Vía fluvial donde se produjeron los hechos". https://es.oxforddictionaries.com/translate/english-spanish/...
