My mother used to work as an environmental consultant in her career as a chemical engineer; and one of the larger projects she helped direct was a water treatment facility for a pit-mine-turned-lake.
it turns out that all of the things leaching into the water made it quite acidic and relatively toxic!
so, y'know, probably good to check what kind of mine it was before going for a swim!
