Question

Think Critically. Compare and contrast point source pollution and nonpoint source pollution.

Answer 1

Point source pollution as any contaminant that enters the environment from an easily identified and confined place. ... Nonpoint-source pollution is the opposite of point-source pollution, with pollutants released in a wide area.

Answer 2

Point-source pollution is easy to identify. As the name suggests, it comes from a single place. Nonpoint-source pollution is harder to identify and harder to address. It is pollution that comes from many places, all at once.
