Non-point source pollution is another term fro polluted runoff and other sources of water pollution that are hard to pinpoint. The term non-point source pollution comes from the federal Clean Water Act of 1987. It is used as a catch-all phrase for all kinds of water pollution that are not well-defined discharges (point-sources) from wastewater plants or industries.
