Abstract

A comprehensive review of the research papers published in 2018 focusing on nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is presented in this review article. The identification of pollution from different sources and estimation of NPS pollution using various models are summarized in this review paper. Various innovative techniques are also examined to abate NPS pollution. PRACTITIONER POINTS: The non-point source pollution in 2018 is systematically reviewed and documented. This review evaluates and summarizes the identification, quantification, reduction, and management of NPS pollution. Future perspectives of NPS pollution research are discussed.

Keywords: Soil and Water Assessment Tool; agricultural runoff; best management practices; nonpoint source; urban stormwater.
