What is NPS pollution?

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.
