Types of water pollution: point source and nonpoint source
Journal Title: Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Water is an important element to human life, this is why around water sources human settlements have been built which led to the development of these specific areas. One person needs a minimum of 5 L water per day, out of which 1.5-2 L are consumed as know and the rest is being retained from food (Ghidra 2004). Due to this water pollution has a negative impact on human and animal health and it also affects the surrounding environment. Water pollution means changes on its natural qualities and the inclusion of foreign elements, resulted from a series of natural and artificial phenomena, making it unsuitable for the previously mentioned aims. Water pollution can be natural or artificial and it can have permanent, irregular or accidental effects.
