Pesticides run off from farm fields.
If the only source of the gasoline is that one gas station, then it is point pollution. Nonpoint pollution sources can include leaking vehicles, but a large spill is more than likely from the gasoline station. .
Yes, surface runoff is an example of nonpoint source pollution. It occurs when rainwater or snowmelt flows over the ground, picking up pollutants such as fertilizers, pesticides, and chemicals, and carries them into water bodies like rivers and lakes. This type of pollution comes from diffuse sources across a wide area, making it challenging to pinpoint a single source.
the difference is that a point source pollution comes from a specific site & the non-point source pollution comes from many sources rather than a single specific site. or point source pollution is pollution that comes from a known and specific location.

Nonpoint-source pollution is contamination that originates from diffuse sources, such as runoff from roads, agricultural fields, and urban areas. It is a major contributor to water pollution and can be challenging to control because it comes from widespread and varied sources. Examples include pesticides, fertilizers, and sediment washed into water bodies by rainfall.
Nonpoint source pollution comes from diffuse sources, making it challenging to trace back to specific locations. It originates from activities such as runoff from farms, urban areas, and roads, which can carry pollutants into water bodies. Because of its widespread and varied sources, controlling nonpoint source pollution often requires collaborative efforts among different stakeholders.

Nonpoint-source pollution
Nonpoint source pollution is difficult to regulate, because its source is difficult to track.

Nonpoint source pollution generally results from land runoff, drainage, or seepage, that is not through a pipe, ditch, or channel, et cetera, from which pollutants are discharged.
