No it can't poison water. If that was the case nothing could live in or around water. Animals drink it. People drink it. Trees grow around and in water. Fish swim it.
In fact, it's the opposite. UV rays can purify contaminated water. The SODIS method (look it up) is used in many countries around the world where clean water is not available.
Water is put into a clean PET bottle and left in the sun for 6 hours. After that the water is clean and safe to drink.
What else can I help you with?
When the sun reflects UV rays?
When the sun's UV rays reflect off surfaces like water, sand, or snow, they can increase the risk of sunburn and skin damage. It's important to wear sunscreen and protective clothing to minimize exposure to reflected UV rays and reduce the risk of developing skin cancer.
What is most affected by the sun's ultra violet rays?
Plants on earth are affected by UV rays. They are fatal rays of the sun.
What is ocean warming?
When the light from the sun touches the surface of the water in oceans, the water absorbers the heat in the rays from the sun. Due to ice melting their is more water and it traps more heat inside the water making the oceans warmer and warmer.
What affects uv rays?
Ozone affects UV rays. These are harmful rays of the sun.
Does the land and water near the earths poles ever receive the direct rays of sun?

Can you tan under water?
You can get sun burnt in the pool just like you can get sun burnt standing out side of it. As long as the sun's rays can reach your skin you are at risk. What you also have to understand is that the rays are bouncing off the water as well which is then reflecting back onto your skin, which means that you are actually getting a double dose of harmful rays. Bottom line....put on sun screen and wear sun glasses whenever you are out in the sun.
Do the sun rays refract?

Does poison Ivy need a lot of sun?
No. Poison ivy is a weed that usually grows in shady or cool areas (often near water). It does quite well with little sun at all.
Are the sun rays mechanical waves?
No, sun rays are not mechanical waves. Sun rays are a form of electromagnetic waves that propagate through space as a result of electromagnetic interactions. Mechanical waves, on the other hand, require a medium (such as air or water) to propagate.
