My town is a farm and an apple orchard. The fecal matter of the cows are contaminating the water of the lake with Cryptosporidium. Toxaphene is an insecticide used on cattle further contaminating the water. Oxamyl is leaching from the insecticide used for the apples. After this mess the Farmer tried to clean the lake by adding Chlorine to the water further contaminating the lake.
This was a great lesson that came from Thinkfinityny.com
