into two.
Point
source of water pollution: This is the discharged of

Non
point source of water pollution: these sources are
scattered diffuse, having no specific location where they discharged into a
particular body of water. Non point source are run off from farm fields and
feed lots golf courses, construction sites, logging area, roads, street,
streets are parking lots. Non point source is often highly episodic.
