Document Summary

Up to 52% of all terrestrial species on road to extinction by 2050. Natural process of nutrient enrichment t of water bodies that leads to greater productivity. Which of the following is not a form of nonpoint source pollution: Nonpoint source (nps) pollution, unlike pollution from industrial and sewage treatment plants, comes from many diffuse sources. Nps pollution is caused by rainfall or snowmelt moving over and through the ground. As the runoff moves, it picks up and carries away natural and human-made pollutants, finally depositing them into lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal waters, and even our underground sources of drinking water. Algae food found in 30% of ohio farmland. Microcystis 1990 have been blooming with the warmer temperatures are toxins in drinking water.
