Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Agriculture uses pesticides and fertilizers which can runoff into water bodies. Industries release industrial waste. Both these activities introduce pollutants into watersheds. Rivers changing direction is more due to geological factors. Precipitation is a natural process not stopped by these. Agriculture and industry do not purify water; rather they contaminate.

Answer:

They can introduce pollutants into watersheds.
