= = =**__ Ellie's Research __**= Non-point source pollution usually comes from land runoff, precipitation, atmospheric deposition or drainage changes. Point source pollution is water pollution that comes from a pipe and drains into all different kinds of bodies of water

__ Non-Point Pollution __

 * Chemicals like fertilizer can be picked up through run offs and carried into bodies of water
 * Rain water can wash heavy metals and tar from roads into rivers, lakes and oceans.
 * When animal waste goes through a run-off into rivers, lakes and oceans
 * Automobiles can leak chemicals into the road and then later get swept up by rain into rivers lakes and oceans

= __**Point Pollution**__ =
 * Dumping Chemicals into storm drains
 * When industry's release chemicals into the Air and Water
 * When sewer water leaks into storm drains which later drains into rivers, lakes and oceans
 * When people dump waste and chemicals into storm drains it eventually ends up in rivers, lakes and oceans

When it rains, the parking lot runoff flows directly into a storm drain, carrying pollutants with it such as: oil, gas, garbage.
 * __Shin Be's Research__ **
 * __A parking lot__ **


 * We could add landscaping to the parking lots to help the polluted runoff from reaching the lakes and rivers. You could leave parking lots unpaved and use asphalt that was already there.**

=**__Construction__**=

When it rains the dirt and compost gets swept directly by storm water into the storm drains.

You could contain all of the dirt and compost so it doesn't rain into storm drains.



When it rains, storm water runoff carries fertilizers and pesticides directly into lakes. Shorelines with less plants and trees are also more easily eroded, adding sediment to the lake and burying aquatic organisms.
 * __Shoreline Development__**

Put vegetation near the end of a shoreline like grass, trees, plants, and flowers. It slows down the runoff so the fertilizer can set in the grass

==

=**__Animal Feedlot__**= Animals wastes from feedlots carries bacteria, excess nutrients, sediment, and other contaminants into nearby streams and waterways.

Don't let the animals nears the streams, lakes and rivers so they don't pollute the water. Also put a lot of vegetation around the water so it filters out the pollutants and cleans out the water.



Fertilizers pollute the Rouge River Dumping Chemicals into the Rouge is bad for the river
