Pollution types- point source
Point source pollution = source of pollution is known and identifiable.
Real life examples= toxic effluents from a factory, agricultural run-off. Effluents= chemicals or fluid that flows out

Pollution types- nonpoint sourceNonpoint source pollution = source
of pollution is too widespread to identify or blame
Real life examples= urban run-off from roads and parking lots, neighborhood run-off from storm drains, sewage leaks such as pig waste or pesticides, and overfishing from fisheries.

Ways to correct- nature
Water is recycled through the water cycle.
Water is filtered through percolation.
This method is mostly effective but time
consuming.

Ways to correct- LegislationThere are many laws that impact
water quality on federal, state and municipal books.
Two most important-Clean Water Act (1972)
and Safe Drinking Act (1974)

Ways to correct- Legislation Clean Water Act (1972)= a law
that works to correct toxic effluents from industries through establishing safety standards, clean-up guidelines, and penalties.
What kind of pollution does it mostly correct? Point source pollution!

Ways to correct- Legislation Safe Drinking Act (1974)- a
law that works to provide standards for what is safe water to drink.
What vocab word does the Safe Drinking Act protect?

Ways to correct-stewardship
Stewardship = to protect the environment
Ways to be a good steward:1. Conservation of resources 2. Clean up of polluted areas3. Establishment of nature
preserves and wildlife areas

Water TreatmentWater treatment plants = where
they filter, remove, and chemically sanitize water to provide drinkable water.
