English term or phrase: outfall
CORMIX is a USEPA-supported mixing zone model and decision support system for environmental impact assessment of regulatory mixing zones resulting from continuous point source discharges. CORMIX is widely adopted for modelling of effluent discharge to marine and river environments. CORMIX is particularly effective at determining near field mixing characteristics based on outfall design and the ambient conditions at the point of discharge

neutral  Jennifer Levey: The "point de rejet" is a geographical location. The object at that location called an "outfall", the design of which is referred to in the ST, is Drmanu49's "deversoir".
