Detailed explanation-1: -Point Source Pollution is anything that emits Pollution directly into the environment like factories, ships, or farms. This is because the pollutants produced can be traced back to that particular point. One example of point source pollution is scale farms.

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: -A point source is a single, identifiable source of pollution, such as a pipe or a drain. Industrial wastes are commonly discharged to rivers and the sea in this way.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nonpoint Source Pollution is transported by the storm water system or other surface water flows to local streams and bays. In contrast, a particular ongoing discharge from a wastewater plant or industrial facility is considered a “point source” of water pollution.

Detailed explanation-5: -One of the biggest sources is called nonpoint source pollution, which occurs as a result of runoff. Nonpoint source pollution includes many small sources, like septic tanks, cars, trucks, and boats, plus larger sources, such as farms, ranches, and forest areas.
