Effluent is the liquid discharged from any source. Effluents can originate from municipalities, industries, farms, ships, parking lots and campgrounds. There is a connotation that effluent contains contaminants but in the strictest sense it could be pure water.
As an example effluent from livestock operations is primarily related to the discharge of rainwater contaminated by urine and fecal matter but can be expanded to include pesticides and pharmaceutical waste from the pest control,health programs at the farm. The actual components in the waste may include ammonia, fecal bacteria, pH, salts etc.
