Yes. Tsunamis can contaminate water for drinking and agriculture with seawater and with pollutants that get swept up in them.

water, drinking or seawater
Seawater contains salts as well as other minerals in its suspension, therefore it is hypertonic to drinking water.
That's right. Drinking seawater will eventually kill a person.
Distillation.
On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5%. This means that every kilogram, or every litre, of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts.Accidentally consuming small quantities of clean seawater is not harmful, especially if the seawater is consumed along with a larger quantity of fresh water. However, drinking seawater to maintain hydration is counterproductive; more water must be excreted to eliminate the salt (via urine) than the amount of water that is gained from drinking the seawater itself. The effect of seawater intake has also been studied in laboratory settings in rats.This study confirmed the negative effects of drinking seawater when dehydrated.
sea birds drink seawater! what else! :) sea birds drink seawater! what else! :)
for drinking and agriculture
the government purifies the muddy water by distilling it and desalinates the seawater to make it fit for drinking.
Desalination plants convert sea water into drinking water by distillation.
Most of the water in the Middle East is used for drinking, residential commodities, and agriculture.
