pumping large amounts of water from an aquifer may cause the
the cumulative effect of small oil spills and leaks on land
The buildup of pollutants at higher levels of the food chain
well in an area to run dry
inorganic plant nutrients from a waste water treatment plant
livestock feedlot
Point source is easier because the source of the pollutant is known.
It decreases oxygen in the water
True
Oil pollution in the ocean is mostly caused by
the cumulative effect of small oil spills and leaks on land

well in an area to run dry
inorganic plant nutrients from a waste water treatment plant
livestock feedlot
Point source is easier because the source of the pollutant is known.
It decreases oxygen in the water
True
Groundwater is difficult to clean up because groundwater recharges slowly and pollutants cling to the materials that make up and aquifer.
