From the chemical manufacturer to the distributor, then to the farmer, where he applies it to the soil or to the crop. From there, it gradually breaks down into its base elements.
Spillage, over-application, and erosion (all elements of poor farm management) can result in chemicals possibly being washed into surface or ground water supplies.

∙ 10y agoWhen it rains, part of whatever that's been spread on the ground will be picked up or dissolved by the rainwater, and then follows the rainwater wherever it runs off to. Sometimes it'll run more or less directly into a stream, river or lake, sometimes it'll have to travel along ditches, canals and such for a while first.
Some will seep down into the ground water.
