Non point pollution source |
|
Definition Pollution from widely distributed sources instead of from a discrete or definable point. Synonym Diffuse source pollution Description Pollution from activities that take place over a wide area (e.g. herbicides and pesticides from farming). Why is non-point source pollution important? Pollution associated with non-point sources impacts a large area, are often difficult to delineate and therefore requires a different approach to identify and manage to that for point source pollution.
