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.
