For example, untreated sewage spills and line leaks from new developments along the river end up contaminating the nearby water, and therefore affect everything downriver from the sites.

    This contaminated water could cause serious health problems in those who drink it. Local reporter Keelee Hurlburt writes, “Swimming in and drinking contaminated water can cause skin rashes and health problems like cancer, reproductive problems, typhoid fever and stomach sickness in humans.” These are very serious health problems that have the possibility of eventually leading to death. USGS researchers Diane Noserale and Martin Risch state, “The White River and Fall Creek near Indianapolis had high percentages of fish with mercury levels above the safety standard.” Because the amount of mercury in the White River exceeds the safety standard, it has the potential to be harmful to anyone who consumes it.
