What else can I help you with?
Point source pollution comes from source that are?
Sources that have water, mainly piped water from a single point.
What is the worst cause of water pollution?
Chemicals such as pesticides cause water pollution from storm runoff.
What can you compare pollution or runoff to?
runoff is when water come from rain take all type of trash and pollution is something polluted
Which is a nonpoint source of water pollution?
fertalizer runoff
What are two main reasons for water pollution?
Two main reasons for water pollution are industrial discharge of chemicals and waste and agricultural runoff containing fertilizers and pesticides. Both of these sources can introduce harmful substances into water bodies, leading to pollution and environmental damage.
What is an example of a non-point water pollution?
An example of a non-point source water pollution is agricultural runoff, where pesticides and fertilizers are washed into nearby water bodies by rain or irrigation. This type of pollution comes from diffuse sources and is challenging to regulate and control compared to point source pollution from specific industrial outlets.
Which is an example of non point source of freshwater pollution?
An example of a non-point source of freshwater pollution is runoff from agricultural fields carrying pesticides and fertilizers into nearby water bodies. This type of pollution comes from diffuse sources across a wide area and can be challenging to trace back to a specific origin.
What is the introduction of any substances that make a body of water unhealthy?
The introduction of any substances that make a body of water unhealthy is called water pollution. Toxins and pollution comes in all forms, from sewage runoff to indutrial chemical dumping to human garbage like plastics.
Ground water is currently depleted mainly by?
groundwater pumping for agricultural irrigation, industrial use, and municipal water supply. Other factors such as drought, climate change, and pollution can also contribute to groundwater depletion.
What is chemical runoff?
Chemical runoff in an agricultural context is when farming chemicals, such as fertilizer are not absorbed into the topsoil. When a heavy rain comes, these chemicals are caught in the storm water runoff and make their way into streams, rivers, and lakes.
What is nonpoint-source pollution?
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.
