Difference’s Between Non Point and Point Pollution Non Point Pollution Non-point source pollution usually comes from land runoff, precipitation, atmospheric deposition or drainage changes. Point Pollution Point source pollution is water pollution that comes from a pipe and drains into all different kinds of bodies of water

Examples of Non-Point Pollution 1.Autombiles can leak chemicals onto the road and then later It rains and the chemicals run into rivers, lakes and oceans 2.Chemicals like fertilizer can be picked up through run offs and carried into bodies of water 3.Rain water can wash heavy metals and tar from roads into rivers, lakes and oceans. 4.When animal waste goes through a run-off into rivers, lakes and oceans

Examples of Point-Pollution 1.Dumping Chemicals into storm drains 2.When industry's release chemicals into the Air and Water 3.When sewer water leaks into storm drains which later drains into rivers, lakes and oceans 4.When people dump waste and chemicals into storm drains it eventually ends up in rivers, lakes and oceans

PLACES THAT CAN LEAD TO POLLUTION

A Parking Lot When it rains, the parking lot runoff flows directly into a storm drain, carrying stuff that can Pollute with it such as: oil, gas and garbage. This is an example of Non-Point pollution

Construction Sites When it rains the dirt and compost gets swept directly by storm water into the storm drains. You could contain all of the dirt and compost so it doesn't run into storm drains. This is an example of Non-Point pollution

Shorelines When it rains, storm water runoff carries fertilizers and pesticides directly into lakes. Shorelines with less plants and trees are also most likely to disappear, adding chemicals to the lake and killing water life. This is an example of Non-Point Pollution

Animal Feedlots Animal waste from feedlots carries bacteria, excess nutrients, sediment, and other contaminants into nearby streams and waterways. This is an example of Non-Point pollution

Ways to Stop Pollution Put vegetation near the end of a shoreline like grass, trees, plants, and flowers. It slows down the runoff so the fertilizer can set in the grass. Don't let the animals nears the streams, lakes and rivers so they can’t pollute the water. Put a lot of vegetation around the water so it filters out the pollutants and cleans out the water. Contain all of the dirt and compost so it doesn't run into storm drains. Pick up your Trash
