  In the US? (Read my sneer!)You need ( at the least) to include the hog
farms of North Carolina after a heavy rainfall,when the manure ponds
overflow and  contaminate many hundreds of miles of waterways down stream).

Oh Canada!

The reason I drive 2000 miles to Canada each summer.. ( to Yellowknife NWT)
,  to fly another 300 miles North, to clean water, and uncrowded adventure.
Last year on the Lockhart River was the first time I haven't felt the  need
to purify water....the first time in 25 years!
