Municipal and industrial water treatment plants as well as desalination plants generate effluents that are disposed to different water bodies. The discharge type can be temporal or permanent and the discharge point location could be located on surface or submarine. The main enviromental concern about the discharge is the behaviour from effluent chemicals/nutrients/bacteria on the water body and the associated dilution process to delimitate a mixing area and evaluate the impact on water quality, aquatic ecosystem and dependent species.

Hatarilabs develop mixing zone modeling from effluent discharge on rivers, lakes and oceans, taking into consideration the most relevant conditions related to water quality and flow.
