We have lots of streams,lakes and rivers in eastern Canada. Some are reasonably pure and clean,and some are not.When I was lad we could drink from the rivers and brooks without harm.But that has changed now.Of course that was 30 years ago. Aerial spraying of the forest that runs into the waterways after a rain is a major factor,even in remote areas.You are right to be concerned. But we can't be afraid of everything in life. A little bit of reasoning will go a long way towards being safe as far as water that can hurt you. Take care...MG

Water Quality

I love to go swimming during the winter. I live close to San Francisco and typically go to the closeby reservoirs rather than the ocean (which is much colder). I noticed that when the official swim area get opened towards summer time, the state always performs water quality checks and frequently delays openings due to water quality concerns. I heard that water run-offs into the reservoirs during the rainy season decrease the water quality. Now when I go swimming all bundled up in winter clothes I typically do that outside of the official swim areas, which means that often cattle is peeing and pooing close by. And in rerservoirs there is little to no flowing water.

Should I be concerned about health issues? Any feedback is higly appreciated!

Thanks,

Mark
