Detailed explanation-1: -Nonpoint source pollution comes from oil, pet waste, pesticide, herbicide, fertilizer, road salt, bacteria, sediment, and any other contaminant that ends up on the ground naturally or from human activity.
Detailed explanation-2: -The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines point source pollution as “any single identifiable source of pollution from which pollutants are discharged, such as a pipe, ditch, ship or factory smokestack.” Factories and sewage treatment plants are two common types of point sources.
Detailed explanation-3: -Factories and sewage treatment plants have proper drainage pipes leading to a water body for disposing their wastes and thus they are point sources of water pollution. Urban and Suburban lands cause water pollution by the field run offs and thus do not originate from a single point.
