    The non-point pollution of river water involves discharge of pollutants through

    A) Urban sewage drains       

    B) industrial effluents

    C) Agricultural fields

    D) both and [b]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Non-point sources of pollution are often termed 'diffuse' pollution and refer to those inputs and impacts which occur over a wide area and are not easily attributed to a single source. They are often associated with particular land uses, as opposed to individual point source discharges. Non-point source water pollution affects a water body from sources such as polluted runoff from agricultural areas draining into a river, or wind-borne debris blowing out to sea. Urban sewage drains and industrial effluents are point pollution sources of river water.
