Untreated lake water can harbor a variety of hazards: bacteria (e.g. E. coli, Salmonella), viruses (e.g. norovirus, hepatitis A), protozoan parasites (e.g. Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium), plus sediment/turbidity and chemical/toxic pollutants (algal toxins, pesticides, heavy metals). For example, guides note that lakes often contain E. coli and Salmonella from animal waste, waterborne viruses from sewage runoff, Giardia or Cryptosporidium from beavers and other wildlife, as well as agricultural runoff and algal toxins (outdoorovernights.com) (outdoorovernights.com).
