Since they established their Capital, Jamestown, on a swampy lowland, they also had a river that funneled through a 'mucky' area, which filled it with, well, muck. Water that they had to drink.

They suffered from many diseases, from typhoid to starvation. Their original number of settlers were cut in half because of starvation and diseases.
