Effluent
Effluent is an outflowing of water from a natural body of water, or from a man-made structure.Effluent in the man-made sense is generally considered to be pollution, such as the outflow from a sewage treatment facility or the wastewater discharge from industrial facilities. An effluent sump pump, for instance, pumps waste from toilets installed below a main sewage line.In the context of a nuclear power plant or nuclear processes such as creating plutonium at the Hanford Site, effluent refers to the cooling water that is discharged from a nuclear reactor that may or may not be radioactive. This water is generally not physically contaminated, but is usually warmer than the body of water it discharges into.
