The Guadalupe River is located in Texas. The river starts from Kerr County, Texas, running approximately 230 miles to San Antonio Bay where the water is discharged back into the Gulf of Mexico.
The river than carries the largest volume of water is the Amazon River. Its average discharge is said to be 7,381,000 cubic feet per second.
the sewers take sewage and surface water runoff (from the roads etc) to a sewage treatment plant. Here it is treated and cleaned then discharged back in to a river or stream. From that river a water treatment works then abstracts (removes) water, treats it drinking water standard and it is pumped through the water pipes to your tap.
Most water flows through rivers. Sewage is usually treated, by digestion of the organic matter by microorganisms, followed by allowing the sludge to settle before it is discharged to rivers or the sea. When the amount of water exceeds the capability of the sewage plant to treat it, raw sewage is discharged to sea. This can be done safely if a long enough pipe is used, and beaches are closed for a period after the discharge.
A washing machine begins a wash cycle with clean tap water. If, at the end, the water discharged after the final spin is not full of dirt, then the soap and washing machine has not cleansed the clothes!
the spring snow melt and the river discharged and they were uncontrolable
If you do not have mains sewage it will go into a local septic tank on the property or near by. Where it will be treated an then discharged into a soak away. If you have mains sewage then it goes into the sewer pipes and can either flow out into a river or the sea, or more likely it will go to a sewage treatment works where it will be treated and cleaned. From there it can either be discharged into a river or sea or it might be treated and recycled.
They are deposited at the river mouth, before it finally empties its water into the ocean.
If the discharged water is the same quality as the untreated water there is no harm in returning it to the river. In many cases treated water is better than the raw river water with lower suspended solids and pathogens Sometimes the amount of water returned is less than the water removed due to loss from pipes to the subsurface and water used for lawn watering etc. which is evaporated. This may ompact downstream users water supply
That is a true statement about the Colorado River.
An adjutage is a tube through which water is discharged.
