Poisoned Waters is a documentary by Frontline that investigates and reveals how certain human activity in the United States (and certainly all over the world) is impacting our water supply and the environment, resulting in amphibian deformities, intersex fish, and decreased sperm counts amongst other problems. Naturally, these negative impacts to the environment translate into our health as well.

From PBS.org:

More than three decades after the Clean Water Act, two iconic waterways—the great coastal estuaries Puget Sound and the Chesapeake Bay—are in perilous condition. With polluted runoff still flowing in from industry, agriculture, and massive suburban development, scientists fear contamination to the food chain and drinking water for millions of people. A growing list of endangered species is also threatened in both estuaries. As a new president, Congress, and states set new agendas and spending priorities, FRONTLINE correspondent Hedrick Smith examines the rising hazards to human health and the ecosystem, and why it’s so hard to keep our waters clean.
