Yes. Soil erosion causes water pollution. The pollution from mud in the water is nowhere near as dangerous to people as the pollution from sewage. Likewise, excess fertilizer runoff creates algae blooms which poison people. Some health food nuts claimed blue green algae is good for you. Many cattle have died from drinking water from ponds filled with blue green algae. Fertilizer drained from farm fields into ponds caused the poisonous algae to grow. The pollution caused by soil erosion is bad. The pollution caused by fertilizer runoff is worse.
