nonpoint-source pollution - pollution that comes from many sources rather than from a single specific site
wastewater - water that contains wastes from homes or industry
artificial eutrophication - a process that increases the amount of nutrients in a body of water through human activities, such as waste disposal and land drainage
thermal pollution - a temperature increase in a body of water that is caused by human activity and that has a harmful effect on water quality
biomagnification - the accumulation of pollutants at successive levels of the food chain
