A point source of water pollution refers to a single, identifiable source from which pollutants are discharged into water bodies. Examples include a pipe discharging waste from a factory, a sewage treatment plant outlet, or a drainage ditch from an industrial site. These sources can be monitored and regulated more easily compared to non-point sources, which are diffuse and spread over a large area.
