Nonpoint pollution, also known as diffuse pollution, is the pollution caused by different sources that cannot be traced to a specific origin point. It occurs when rainwater or snowmelt runoff moves across the surface of the land, picking up harmful pollutants like fertilizers, pesticides, and trash, and carries them into nearby rivers, lakes, and oceans. Some synonyms for nonpoint pollution include diffuse source pollution, runoff pollution, stormwater pollution, and indirect pollution. Nonpoint pollution is a significant contributor to water pollution globally, causing environmental damages, compromising public health, and negatively impacting aquatic life. To reduce the impact of nonpoint pollution, it is essential to incorporate best management practices, promote sustainable agriculture, and promote public education.
