Dirty water in southern parts of the world?

Question

A friend believes that the water in Canada is clean, then as it seeps southerly through the U.S. into Mexico and other countries is becomes dirty with contaminents. He won't drink Mexican beers because of that. Only Canadian beer. Am I missing something or it that just the stupidest thing you've ever heard? This is an honest question, no matter how absurd it sounds.

Answer 1

To a certain extent, Canada does have the lowest population of the 3 countries, and therefore fewer people to pollute the water. But that's about it. It doesn't always work that way.

Answer 2

Drinking water in Mexico isn't treated as well as in the USA or Canada so the quality is worse. This is why it is advised to not drink water from taps.

Following his principle then Australian water must be one of the worst in the world as that's even further south.
