pollution and the effects it has on water quality is a very important topic, as more and more pollutant sources are introduced. Point sources, or sources that are easily identified are usually the easiest to pinpoint and act on, however non-point sources, or a combination of unspecific sources are still a big problem.

Due to the misshapen landscape caused by mountaintop removal and runoff from coal slurries, communities surrounding mountaintop removal sites and valley fill typically experience contaminated water. Even though mountaintop removal coal mining is an effective way to remove the entire amount of coal from a mountain, mountain top removal should be strictly regulated by the government because the water quality
