Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is water pollution affecting a water body from diffuse sources, such as polluted runoff from agriculturalareas draining into a river, or wind-borne debris blowing out to sea. Nonpoint source pollution can be contrasted with point source pollution, where discharges occur to a body of water at a single location, such as discharges from a chemical factory, urban runoff from a roadway storm drain, or from ships at sea.

NPS (Nonpoint Source) pollution refers to the contamination of water bodies, such as rivers, lakes, and oceans, by pollutants that cannot be traced back to a single source. It happens when rain or snowmelt carries pollutants, such as fertilizers, pesticides, oil, and sediment, from the land into water bodies. The sources of NPS pollution are widespread and include agricultural activities, urban runoff, forestry practices, and construction activities. These pollutants can have harmful effects on aquatic ecosystems and human health.

Why pipe NB is different with OD up to 12 inches?
Based on the NPS and schedule of a pipe, the pipe outside diameter (OD) and wall thickness can be obtained from reference tables such as those below, which are based on ASME standards B36.10M and B36.19M. For example, NPS 14 Sch 40 has an OD of 14 inches and a wall thickness of 0.437 inches. However the NPS and OD values are not always equal, which can create confusion.For NPS â…› to 12 inches, the NPS and OD values are different. For example, the OD of an NPS 12 pipe is actually 12.75 inches. To find the actual OD for each NPS value, refer to the tables below. (Note that for tubing, the size is always the actual OD.)For NPS 14 inches and up, the NPS and OD values are equal. In other words, an NPS 14 pipe is actually 14 inches OD.The reason for the discrepancy for NPS â…› to 12 inches is that these NPS values were originally set to give the same insidediameter (ID) based on wall thicknesses standard at the time. However, as the set of available wall thicknesses evolved, the ID changed and NPS became only indirectly related to ID and OD.For a given NPS, the OD stays fixed and the wall thickness increases with schedule. For a given schedule, the OD increases with NPS while the wall thickness stays constant or increases. Using equations and rules in ASME B31.3 Process Piping, it can be shown that pressure rating decreases with increasing NPS and constant schedule.[note 1]
