Question

how does non - point source pollution from urban area often enter water bodies? through direct industrial discharges through runoff from parking lots, streets and lawns its dumped directly into the water bodies

Explanation:

Non - point source pollution does not come from a single, identifiable source. Direct industrial discharges and direct dumping into water bodies are point - source pollutions as they have a specific, identifiable discharge point. Runoff from parking lots, streets, and lawns in urban areas is a non - point source as the pollution comes from a wide, diffuse area and is carried by rain or other runoff into water bodies.

Answer:

through runoff from parking lots, streets and lawns
