Best Answer

The reasoning for freshwater getting polluted by rain is because we have so many cars and factories etc. that pollute our air and then the couds evaporate that and makes acid rain.. when it falls into freshwater you then have polluted freshwater. If you want you could search acid rain and get more information on that.
