Water in rivers and lakes is not fit for drinking because it is contaminated.

Explanation:

  • The water present in rivers and lakes is not fit for drinking as it is contaminated with various organisms and physical substances.
  • The small rocks and sand can enter the human body and result in functional problems.
  • The microscopic bacteria and viruses can also result in making a person sick if the water is consumed without purifying it. It can lead to food poisoning and dehydration as well.
  • The water in rivers and lakes is also devoid of any minerals so it does not serve any purpose for the human body.
