Categories of Water Pollution

Two main categories of water pollution: point sources and non-point sources
Point sources: contaminants coming from a single, identifiable source (e.g. factories, sewage pipes)
Non-point sources: contaminants coming from diffuse sources (e.g. agricultural runoff, oil spills)

Consequences of Water Pollution

Potential consequences: harm to aquatic life, human health problems, and economic losses

Water Bodies Affected

Water bodies that can be affected by water pollution: rivers, lakes, wetlands, groundwater, and oceans

Problems Arising from Water Pollution

Problems that can arise due to water pollution: harm to aquatic life, human health problems, and economic losses
