Conclusion: Cijevna is much more common name in English language.-- Antidiskriminator ( talk) 20:12, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
I am not sure about other varieties of English but as a typical Brit who likes rivers but does not know much about them to me the word "discharge" has an association of something leaving something else. For example "He was honourable discharged from the army." (person leaving army) or "When scrapping an electric car the battery must first be discharged." (electricity leaving battery). So in this article as a casual reader I would expect the word "discharge" to refer to water leaving a river (or perhaps pollutants leaving a factory on the river bank "discharged into the river").
The only sentence I can see which fits that is "As Cem pours into Morača, it can contribute up to 35 m3/s (1,200 cu ft/s) to the total discharge of 210 m3/s (7,400 cu ft/s) of that river into Lake Shkodra." referring to water leaving the Morača.
So to avoid confusion would it make sense to replace all the other "discharge" in the article with "streamflow"? Chidgk1 ( talk) 06:09, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
Measurements at Tamarë, where the confluence with Cem of Selcë is located, show an average discharge of 13.99–14.4 m3/s (494–509 cu ft/s)must necessarily use the term "discharge" because that is what is being measured. The term "discharge" when it is mentioned in the article refers to a specific discharge calculation. -- Maleschreiber ( talk) 22:05, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
a fluvial hydrologist studying natural river systems may define discharge as streamflow, and I see they are both measured in cubic meters per second. In the sentence you quote it seems the the measurement might refer to the flow of water OUT OF the Cem of Selcë but as written I find it a little unclear. I am not saying it is necessary for GA but if you are going to improve the article further how about requesting a schematic from Wikipedia:Graphics Lab showing the confluences and flow rates - perhaps represented by width of a blue line? I guess you are an expert - if there is a difference in this article between "discharge" and "streamflow" what exactly is it? Chidgk1 ( talk) 05:55, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
