Engr. Zaki Zainudin recently gave a talk on the importance of accounting for the effects of Non-Point Source Pollution (NPSP) in efforts relating to water quality preservation. While there are many existing laws that deal with point source discharges, NPSP contribution is rather ambigiuous and vague to many, though its contribution towards water quality degradation may be significant. NPSP is defined as pollution occuring as a result of a hydrological event, such as rainfall or snow melt. NPSP in Malaysia is primarily the result of runoff carrying over surface deposits into our water courses, hence degrading the ambient water quality.
