Barren vs Pregnant. The solution exiting the leaching area first arrives in a processing pond for pregnant solution. When there's still a majority of harvestable ore left in the liquid, it's considered pregnant or loaded. Some systems only call for a single set of pregnant ponds to settle or skim out ore and minerals with minimal work.
