Agricultural runoff, a nonpoint or diffuse source of water pollution, is receiving increased attention as point sources are being brought under control. Sediment, nutrients, and pesticides are among pollutants of major concern. Livestock operations and croplands are considered principal contributors.  1, record 1, English, - agricultural%20runoff

Le ruissellement agricole est une source diffuse de pollution de l'eau, et reçoit de plus en plus d'attention depuis que les sources ponctuelles de pollution sont bien contrôlées. Les sédiments, les éléments nutritifs et les pesticides sont parmi les polluants qui nous inquiètent le plus. Les opérations d'élevage et les terres productives sont considérées comme les sources principales.  2, record 1, French, - ruissellement%20agricole

When pollutants enter the waterway through a specific entry point, such as a drainpipe draining directly into a river, it's called point source pollution.... Point source pollution can be traced to a specific discharge point and owner; therefore, it has been the easiest source of pollution to control and regulate.  2, record 4, English, - discharge%20point

Dispersion theory.... Turbulent motion is one of the most fundamental atmospheric properties which causes diffusion of air pollutants.... The basic sets of parameters affecting diffusion can be classified as meteorological, topographical and source characteristics. The first two, which include wind speed, wind direction and thermal stability, are mutually dependent. The latter set depends on source type, height and emission rate.... The distinction between point and area sources depends on the scale of the problem under examination. For a global pollution problem, the city, as a source of pollution, could be approximated to a point source rather than an area source.  1, record 6, English, - dispersion%20theory
