Welcome to the Nonpoint Source Water Pollution Prevention & Restoration program. Imagine the path taken by a drop of water from when it hits the ground to when it reaches a river, lake, groundwater, or the ocean. On this journey the drop can pick up pollution that it carries along to one of these waterbodies. Pollutants come from a wide range of sources. It is often difficult to point to one cause so it is called nonpoint source pollution (NPS). The NPS section is Alaska’s primary program protecting the water quality in Alaska’s streams and lakes from nonpoint source pollution and restoring polluted waters to a healthier condition through a variety of ways.
