**Understanding Water Contamination Sources**

Indicate whether or not each of the following represents a point source or a non-point source of water contamination:

1. **An overflowing septic system**
   - Selected: Point source

2. **Agricultural run-off of rainwater into streams**
   - Selected: Non-point source

3. **A suburban street emptying to storm drains**
   - Selected: Non-point source

4. **A drain-pipe discharging industrial waste**
   - Selected: Point source

The drop-down menu under the last option displays choices for designating the source type, with "Point source" currently selected. The options provided are:
- Point source
- Non-point source

**Note:** Point sources refer to single, identifiable sources of pollution, such as a pipe or drain. Non-point sources are more diffuse and originate from multiple points, such as runoff from fields or streets.
