Nonpoint Source Management Plan

A Nonpoint Source Management Plan is a strategy to reduce water pollution caused by diffuse sources like farmland, urban areas, and disturbed soils, rather than single, identifiable points like factories or sewage treatment plants. It involves identifying pollution sources, setting targeted actions, and implementing practices such as better farming techniques, stormwater management, and erosion control. The goal is to protect and improve water quality in lakes, rivers, and groundwater by tackling these diffuse pollution sources through coordinated efforts, community engagement, and ongoing monitoring.
