Abstract: The coastal areas are polluted by a varied dejects and part of them are disposed through submarine outfalls, admitting that ocean have a large capacity of dilution and dispersion of the effluent. A better procedure would be to identify environmental impacts and to decide strategies for minimizing them through applying technology in this field. The subject is unknown and this work (in preliminary phase) focuses the methodology for the detection of sewer plume in marine environment, without the previous knowledge of its accurate dimension and the area of contamination.
