Another name for runoff pollution is nonpoint source pollution. This type of pollution occurs when rainwater or melting snow carries contaminants like pesticides, fertilizers, and sediments from various land surfaces into water bodies, rather than coming from a single, identifiable source. It often affects rivers, lakes, and coastal areas, leading to water quality degradation and ecosystem harm.
