Non-Community Water System (NCWS)
A non-community water system (NCWS) is a public water system that is not owned or operated by a municipality, a special district, or other type of incorporated entity. NCWSs include systems serving residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional customers that are owned or operated by investor-owned utilities, rural cooperatives, mobile home parks, schools, and state or federal prisons.
Non-Incorporated
Non-incorporated areas are those areas of the United States that are not part of an incorporated city or village. Non-incorporated areas are often referred to as unincorporated areas or simply as “the country.”
Non-Point Sources
Non-point sources (NPS) of pollution are diffuse sources that do not have a single point of origin or discharge. NPS pollution can come from many different sources, including agricultural activities, urban runoff, and atmospheric deposition. NPS pollution is one of the most difficult types of pollution to control because it is often spread over large areas and is not easily traced back to its source.
Non-Target Organism
A non-target organism is an organism that is not the intended target of a particular action or activity. For example, when a pesticide is applied to a field to kill insects that are damaging crops, the pesticide may also kill other organisms such as birds or bees that are not the intended target. Non-target organisms can be harmed by both direct and indirect exposure to pesticides.
