There are two types of water pollution: Point source pollution and nonpoint source pollution.
Point source pollution can be traced to one source. You can easily identify its source. You can point at sewage flowing from broken pipes or see waste materials coming from a factory. Laws have been passed to stop this type of pollution. In addition to paying fines for breaking the law, polluters must clean polluted water before it goes back into rivers.
