What is the difference between point pollution and non point pollution?
Point Source contamination comes from one direct source, such as a factory. (Thus the "point"). A Non-Point Source comes from a variety of sources in two categories: Fugitive or Mobile. Fugitive Non-point pollution includes things like dirt roads, farmland-plowing, surface mines,construction sites... while Mobile Non-point Pollution comes from thousands of cars in the city, trains, airplanes/jets etc. it's non-point source since there are many different ones.

What does it mean to be a non point pollutant?
A non-point pollutant is a pollutant which has a source that is not readily apparent. Unlike pollution from sewage plants which is easy to indentify, non-point pollution is often caused by rain, or snowfall which causes pollutants to run off and empty in body of water and such. They carry away pollutants from their sources or points, which is why this effect is called Nonpoint source pollution
What is the difference between point-source pollution and non-point-source pollution?

Why is non point source pollution hard to control?
point-source of pollution is easy to because we can control it at the same site where the pollution source is originated. Nonpoint source pollution is difficult to regulate.
What are the differences between conventional and non conventional sources of energy?
