Question

Compare and contrast point sources and nonpoint sources of water pollution. Give an example of each.

Answer 1

point sources are easy to locate since they come from one specific place like factories. nonpoint sources are hard to locate because they come from many different places like plastic trash

Answer 2

There are many causes for water pollution but two general categories exist: direct and indirect contaminant sources. Direct sources include effluent outfalls from factories, refineries, waste treatment plants etc.. that emit fluids of varying quality directly into urban water supplies.
