Since the earth is polluted with harmful substances that go into the water, the water that falls as rain and snow ect. will be polluted.

Harmful organisms in water can come from decaying animals, fecal material, urine, and of course from the normal cyclical development of parasitic organisms that are shed by living host animals at certain times of the year or during specific environmental changes.

Some harmful organisms are normally extant in water at non pathogenic/non infectious levels and only create problems when certain conditions allow them to multiply.
