About article:
Water quality in the surface stream is influenced by several factors. Distribution of point and nonpoint sources of pollution in a river basin and amount of pollutants released from them to surface streams are the important information. The point source of pollution is a place where we can clearly locate the site of pollutant input into a stream. Identification of nonpoint sources of surface streams pollution is more problematic because there are mostly widespread points in a river basin, from where pollutants get into surface streams. An example of a point source of pollution is the discharge from wastewater treatment plants (industry, urban areas, farms, etc.). The most significant nonpoint source of pollution is considered the application of industrial and organic fertilizers in agricultural activities. The objective of this contribution – both parts – is to identify areas with the potential highest and lowest level of point and nonpoint pollution of surface streams in the period under review. In this, the second part of the contribution, we deal with analysing of nonpoint sources of surface streams pollution in Slovakia territory, while evaluation of point sources of pollution was in the first part of the contribution. The results of the processing of consumption of industrial and organic fertilizers in the period 2006–2015 in Slovakia are presented.
