The article discusses how laws in the United States focus on agriculture and forestry to control pollution. It compares practices for conserving resources on farms with controlling pollution in streams. Nonpoint sources like farms and forests cause pollution, while point sources come from pipes. The laws sometimes conflict in how they address pollution control.
