Planting grass "filter strips" in sensitive areas next to streams is one thing.
Most pollution in streams is due to agricultural runoff, urban stormwater runoff, industrial discharges, and improper disposal of waste such as plastics and chemicals. These can introduce pollutants like fertilizers, pesticides, heavy metals, and excess nutrients into the water, leading to water quality degradation and harm to aquatic ecosystems.
When pesticides enter waterways from runoff, it is commonly referred to as "agricultural runoff" or "pesticide runoff." This phenomenon occurs when rain or irrigation causes pesticides applied to agricultural fields to flow into nearby rivers, lakes, or streams. This runoff can lead to water pollution, negatively impacting aquatic ecosystems and potentially harming human health. Efforts to mitigate this issue often focus on buffer zones, responsible pesticide application, and improved agricultural practices.

I believe that would be called RUNOFF water.
Agricultural runoff is a form of pollution when pesticides and other waste from a large area of land form into a small group and pollutes surrounding water.
