A dispersed (or nonpoint) source is a very broad unconfined area from which a variety of pollutants enter the water body, such as the runoff from an agricultural area.
What are four point sources of water pollution?Types of point sources
Examples of point sources include sewage treatment plants; oil refineries; paper and pulp mills; chemical, automobile, and electronics manufacturers; and factories.
What is point source water pollution?The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines point source pollution as “any single identifiable source of pollution from which pollutants are discharged, such as a pipe, ditch, ship or factory smokestack.” Factories and sewage treatment plants are two common types of point sources.
What is the difference between point and nonpoint sources of pollution?Point-source pollution is easy to identify. As the name suggests, it comes from a single place. Nonpoint-source pollution is harder to identify and harder to address. It is pollution that comes from many places, all at once.
