Decreasing ground contamination from landfills, reducing household litter and yard debris on the property, and refraining from use of chemicals are ways in which making and using a compost pile help water quality. The water cycle involves rainfall -- whose quality is degraded by acid rain and landfill-generated greenhouse and methane gases -- accessing water tables through infiltration into and percolation through soils. It also takes into consideration irrigation activity, whose quality is improved when chemicals are not used and non-organic inputs -- such as composted amendments, fertilizers, and mulches -- are employed.

Does compost tea pollute lake water?
It all depends on how you make it. If your making compost tea from YOUR OWN compost and maybe some small additives like Mollasses then no it will not. However once you start introducing other composts like Bat droppings or sea kelp then your going to be adding non-local minerals and bacteria that can be potentially harmful. Play it safe and use 1-2lbs of your own finished compost in a 5 gallon or so pail of non-chlorinated water (do not use city water) and aerate the mix for a minimum of 24 hours. You can either use full strenght but it may burn some more sensitive plants (cucumbers for example) so for those you can dilute it 50/50 compost tea to water. Enjoy!
