The movement of water along flow lines from a point source of ground water pollution toward its eventual emergence at the surface.

A body of contaminated groundwater flowing from a specific source.  The movement of the groundwater is influenced by such factors as local groundwater flow patterns, the character of the aquifer in which the groundwater is contained, and the density of contaminants.  A plume may also be a cloud of smoke or vapor.  It defines the area where exposure [..]

A well-defined area of contamination in groundwater, soil or the air downstream from the source. 

In water terms, the extent or boundary of the spread of underground soil or water contamination. In air, a visible emission from a flue or chimney.
