Best Answer

There are no criteria for the "worst" case of water pollution so it is impossible to identify the winner. Contenders for the title would be:

  • The pollution of Lake Erie with phosphorous from detergents which ended commercial fishing for many years.
  • The release of Mercury from pulp and paper mills that made fish dangerous to eat
  • The contamination of the Thames River in England in the 18th and 19th centuries
  • The Rhine River contamination in Germany
  • The Canals of Venice
  • Mercury losses in Japan leading to Minamata disease
  • Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which had been compared to "an open septic tank," and frequently caught fire
