   Air pollution is an example of nonpoint source contamination because contaminants are throughout the air and landscape, ultimately entering the water from multiple locations. Eroded soil and sediment are another source of nonpoint source pollution.

   Aug 10, 2022 · Water pollution is the contamination of water by an excess amount of a substance that can cause harm to human beings and/or the ecosystem. The level of water pollution depends on the abundance of the pollutant, the ecological impact of the pollutant, and the use of the water.

   What is water pollution?

   • Water pollution refers to the contamination of water by an excess amount of a substance that can cause harm to human beings and/or the ecosystem. The level of water pollution depends on the abundance of the pollutant, the ecological impact of the pollutant, and the use of the water. Water is polluted by substances derived from biological, chemical, or physical processes. The passage also mentions that the impact and abundance of the pollutant determine the extent of the pollution.

   Why is water contaminated?

   • Water can be contaminated by various human activities or by existing natural features, like mineral-rich geologic formations. Agricultural activities, industrial operations, landfills, animal operations, and small and large scale sewage treatment processes, among many other things, all can potentially contribute to contamination.

   What causes water pollution?

   • Although natural processes such as volcanic eruptions or evaporation sometimes can cause water pollution, most pollution is derived from human, land-based activities. Pollutants can spread through different water reservoirs, as the water carrying them progresses through stages of the water cycle (figure \ (\PageIndex {a}\)).

   How do water pollutants move through different water reservoirs?

   • Water pollutants move from one water reservoir to another as water carrying them progresses through the water cycle. They can originate from point sources, which are identifiable and relatively small locations, or nonpoint sources, which are larger and more diffuse areas (Figure 14.3.1).

   What are waterborne diseases?

   • Waterborne diseases are conditions caused by pathogenic micro-organisms that are transmitted through water. They can be contracted while bathing, washing, drinking water, or by eating food exposed to contaminated water.

   From where do pollutants enter water supplies?

   • Pollutants enter water supplies from point sources, which are readily identifiable and relatively small locations, such as animal factory farms that raise a large number and high density of livestock like cows, pigs, and chickens. (Figure 14.3.1 14.3. 1)
