Why does pollution in a watershed poses a potential threat to the river system that flowsthrough it?

The river system could potentially pick up chemicals in the water and then transport them in the direction of the water flow. The water could end up in a populated area that depends on that particular water source. This could lead to contamination of drinking water. It also has the potential to affect the ecosystem of the river and all the organisms living in it.
