So sad. Up here in NH mountains our local rivers and streams can get that bluish green nasty scum in them maybe from heat,sun or rain or all of the above, not really sure up here we call it BLOOM and while we prospect in the river our Border Collie JT is with us I bring her fresh water in a cooler but every once in awhile I see her take a lick from the stream
