text: Human waste can contribute to contamination in a waterway by several means: (1) by heavy rains running over sloped topography and washing out uncompacted, shallow buried waste, (2) by animals digging up the waste and rainwater runoff washing it into a water body (3) by rainwater or swelling rivers saturating the soil and then percolating the contaminated waste water into the water body (this is especially true of sandy soils or waste buried in close proximity to the water body), and (4 ) by animals digging up the waste, becoming infected, and then transmitting the infection back to the water body by depositing their waste directly into the water or by rainwater runoff carrying their waste into the water body.
