Hmmmmmm.....I suppose decreases in aquatic flora and fauna in American
streams is based upon their decisions to leave the river and live in the
suburbs? Come on, as long as people think they can dump anything dirtier
than pristine non-chlorinated drinking water into America's watersheds,
then we will see species loss.
p.s. You obviously don't live in Ohio. States in the industrial belt
which continue to be industrialized have some of the worst water quality
in the country, mostly because the U.S. government regulates businesses
in how fast they can poison other people and animals, and not whether
they should be doing it in the first place.
I don't have the figures on my, but they are easily available.
Basically, thousands or maybe millions of gallons of chemicals are dumped
in American rivers throughout the year.
