Why is it so hard to keep farm chemicals from getting into nearby water?

It is challenging to prevent farm chemicals from contaminating nearby water due to factors like runoff, leaching, and the inherent mobility of these substances in the environment. Heavy rains can wash pesticides and fertilizers off fields into streams and rivers, while groundwater can carry residues into aquifers. Additionally, the widespread use of these chemicals in agriculture increases the likelihood of accidental spills or misapplication, compounding the risk of water contamination. Effective management practices and regulatory measures are essential but often difficult to implement consistently.
