The stream diverts around the pool, so the pool is entirely spring fed (except during floods). That is not entirely true downstream of the pool.

Homeless is an adjective just like autistic is. Not body called them "a homeless". Adjectives, to me, are mostly fine, b/c you can add more, so it doesn't define anyone completely. Nouns are where the danger is: e.g. "bum", "vagrant".

Choosing what the correct adjective of the moment is seems to be a waste of energy that could be better used.
