What is non-point source water pollution?
Point source pollution is that which is sent directly into streams, creeks, and rivers via pipes. Non-point source pollution then is any other pollution that makes its way into these bodies of water, usually via stormwater runoff. That includes sediment (from erosion and agriculture), pesticides, fertilizer, pet waste, agricultural runoff, salt from the roads in winter, motor oil, grease, and litter.
