Is rainwater pouring from an eroded bank into a river a non-point source are point source?
Rainwater pouring from an eroded bank into a river is considered a non-point source of pollution. This is because the pollution does not originate from a single, identifiable source but rather from a diffuse area where rainfall washes away soil and contaminants into the waterway. Point sources, on the other hand, refer to specific, identifiable locations such as pipes or discharge outlets.
What else can I help you with?
What type of pollution comes from many different sources?
Nonpoint-source pollution
Why does the government not do more to regulate nonpoint source pollution?
Nonpoint source pollution is difficult to regulate, because its source is difficult to track.

Is surface runoff an example of nonpoint source pollution?
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.

A substance added to gasoline is found in the wells of people who live miles away from a gas station is this an example of point source pollution or nonpoint pollution?
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. .
What is the nonpoint view of water pollution?
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.
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.
