Claim: The nonpoint source pollution in the watershed is likely caused by runoff from agricultural fields carrying fertilizers and pesticides into the water.

Evidence: The picture shows signs of agricultural activities along the waterway, indicating potential runoff.

Reasoning: Nonpoint source pollution occurs when pollutants are carried by runoff into water bodies, and agricultural runoff is a common source of pollution in watersheds.

Rebuttal: It is also possible that point source pollution, such as discharge from a nearby factory or wastewater treatment plant, could be contributing to the pollution in the watershed. Further investigation would be needed to determine the exact sources of pollution in the watershed.
