Non-point Source Pollution Control [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
This activity is designed to demonstrate to students what an average storm drain collects during a rainfall event and how the water from storm drains can impact the water quality and aquatic environments of local streams, rivers, and bays.

Non point source pollution

IGARSS '96. 1996 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2002
Non Point Source (NPS) pollution is a major contributor to the degradation of surface water quality. NPS pollution is caused by water movement over and through the surface of the land. The runoff picks up and transports natural and man-made pollutants.

The Economics of Non-Point-Source Pollution [PDF]

open access: possibleAnnual Review of Resource Economics, 2011
Non-point-source (NPS) pollution refers to a form of pollution in which neither the source nor the size of specific emissions can be observed or identified with sufficient accuracy. In NPS pollution the ambient concentration of pollutants associated with the individually unobserved emissions is typically observed.

Pollution: Non-Point Source

2016
The biosphere is a life-supporting system to the living organisms. The detection of hazardous compounds in Antarctica, where these compounds were never used or no man has ever lived before, indicates how serious is the problem of long-range atmospheric transport and deposition of non-point-source pollution.

Statewide Non-Point-Source Pollution Assessment Methodology

Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management, 2000
We present a new methodology for performing Virginia’s statewide, watershed-level non-point-source pollution assessment. The problems and inconsistencies inherent in previous methodologies were addressed and improved upon. The revised methodology utilizes geographic information systems technology, a database management system, and computer modeling ...

An Efficient Algorithm for Non-point Source Pollution Management Problems

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1994
Summary: A dynamic programming (DP) algorithm is proposed for a class of non-point source pollution control problems. The formulation deals with the selection of a spatial distribution of management practices in such a way as to meet a control agency's sediment pollution target. The inherently combinatorial nature of these problems -- stemming from the

Non-Point Source Pollutants From Motor Vehicles

2019
Motor vehicles emit gaseous pollutants from incomplete carbon reactions, unburned hydrocarbons, or other elements present in the fuel or air during combustion of fossil fuels. Atmospheric pollution is caused by multiple sources, making it a non-point source for the pollutants. The adverse effects of vehicular pollution are physical, chemical, and socio-
