What type of pollution comes from many different sources?
Nonpoint-source pollution
Which is an example of a nonpoint source of freshwater pollution?
An example of a nonpoint source of freshwater pollution is agricultural runoff. This occurs when rainwater washes fertilizers, pesticides, and sediments from fields into nearby rivers, lakes, and streams. Unlike point source pollution, which comes from a single, identifiable source, nonpoint source pollution is diffuse and arises from multiple, scattered sources, making it more challenging to manage and regulate.

What is the pollution that comes from one source?
point-sources pollution
What is the difference between point and nonpoint sources of pollution?
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 pollution that does not have a specific point of orign....................:-)Hisme John
Which is a nonpoint source of water pollution?
fertalizer runoff
Is road runoff a nonpoint source of pollution?
Yes.
Compare nonpoint source pollution to point source pollution.?
Nonpoint source pollution refers to contaminants that originate from multiple, diffuse sources, making it difficult to trace their origin, such as runoff from agricultural fields or urban areas. In contrast, point source pollution comes from a single, identifiable source, like a discharge pipe from a factory or wastewater treatment plant. While point source pollution is often easier to regulate and manage due to its specific origin, nonpoint source pollution poses greater challenges for monitoring and control due to its widespread and variable nature. Both types of pollution can significantly impact water quality and ecosystems, but their management strategies differ substantially.
What is the difference point source pollution and nonpoint source pollution?

Three methods of nonpoint pollution control?
Implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) to minimize runoff and control pollution from sources such as agriculture and urban areas. Constructing vegetated buffers along water bodies to trap and filter pollutants from runoff. Promoting public education and outreach programs to raise awareness about nonpoint source pollution and encourage behavior changes to reduce pollution at its source.
Why is non point source pollution hard to control?
point-source of pollution is easy to because we can control it at the same site where the pollution source is originated. Nonpoint source pollution is difficult to regulate.
Fertilizer runoff from a farm is an example of what?
nonpoint source pollution
