Point and Nonpoint Pollution Sources Point Sources Point-source pollutants in surface water and groundwater are usually found in a plume that has the highest concentrations of the pollutant nearest the source (such as the end of a pipe or an underground injection system) and diminishing concentrations farther away from the source. The various types of point-source pollutants found in waters are as varied as the types of business‚ industry‚ agricultural‚ and urban sources that produce them. Commercial
