{"Image DocumentName": "Surface water pollution", "Image ImageDescription": "Pollution comes from point sources and non-point sources. Point sources = industrial sites and outflows for sewer- stormwater runoff systems. Non-point sources = pollution runoff. Land uses (urban and rural) and surface runoff factors (ex. geology, climate, and topography) greatly affect pollution runoff. Everyday human activities are also contributors. Driving automobiles and trucks add to road grime. Fertilizing the lawn or garden, washing the car, or even walking the dog are contributors as well. Urban contributors = factories, parking lots, storage sites. Rural contributors = farming, forestry, mining. Rain causes pollutants to runoff and infiltrate over large areas. S.
