1 Chapter 5 Water

2 Point Source Pollution Comes from a specific source Can be monitored and controlled by a permit system

3 Nonpoint Source Pollution Pollution associated with stormwater or runoff Cannot be traced to a direct discharge point such as a wastewater treatment facility

4 Impervious Surface Roads, rooftops, parking lots, and other hard surfaces that do not allow stormwater to soak into the ground Provides a surface for accumulation of pollutants Inhibits recharge of groundwater

5 Problems with Desalination High cost Death of marine organisms Brine wastes discharges Future economics

6 Privatizing Water Neoliberalism World Bank and IMF Can profit-seeking firms deliver?
