Inorganic mercury enters reservoirs and other water bodies through a variety of sources including:
• Atmospheric deposition;
• Through tributary streams carrying runoff from mercury and gold mining sites;
• From urban and industrial discharges; and
• From erosion of soils naturally enriched with mercury
