Portuguese term or phrase: exutório
Exutório é um ponto de um curso d'água onde se dá todo o escoamento superficial gerando no interior uma bacia hidrográfica banhada por este curso.

Exemplo

O exutório do curso principal coincide com o ponto mais inferior para onde converge toda a descarga hídrica desta bacia. Pode-se notar que cada afluente deste curso principal tem seu próprio exutório, que coincide com o local onde este afluente encontra o curso principal.

Conceito

A quantidade de água que passa pela seção fluvial no exutório numa unidade de tempo é chamada de descarga ou vazão desta bacia.
