GPT 3.5
This type of pollution is called diffuse pollution. It refers to pollution that comes from many different sources and is not easily traced back to a specific origin.
An example of diffuse pollution is runoff from agricultural lands. When farmers use fertilizers and pesticides on their crops, these chemicals can be washed away by rainwater and end up contaminating nearby water bodies. Since the pollution comes from multiple fields rather than a single point source, it is considered diffuse pollution.
