It doesn't affect the water itself - though the contents of a plastic container might. However it is unsightly and worse, can trap, injure or kill wildlife.

Many turtles for example, die from swallowing plastic bags that to them look like the jellyfish they live on. Birds and marine mammals become entangled in old fishing nets, beer-can binders and the like.
