When fertilizers are applied to crops, certain amount of it remains on plants which is washed off by rain and conveyed to rivers and lakes by surface run off. Further, excessively applied fertilizers gets mixed with water and such water containing traces of fertilizers percolate down into the soil and finds way to rivers and lakes by underground streams. Furthermore, nutrients contained in such polluted water brought to rivers and lakes accelerate growth of weeds, aquatic plants causing depletion of dissolved oxygen thereby damaging aquatic eco system existing in rivers and lakes.

How does fertilizer get into water?
Fertilizers reach bodies of water in a variety of ways, most noticeably by rain washing the fertilizer into adjoining rivers and streams. However, all things contain water and water is a particle carrier, so the chemicals of fertilizers are transported to large bodies of water by all means, including by humans who are eating the fertilized food. Humans are 97% water at birth and pass through undigested fertilizer into waste delivery systems that return to the Water Cycle. Same with animals who are mostly made of water, themselves. Ultimately, humans made fertilizer and so fertilizers start their journey from human hands and so part of that answer is: humans.
