Water is an essential component for life, thus bacteria will be there. Fertilizers contain many nitrogen-containing compounds that bacteria tend of ‘eat’ or ‘consume’. Where there’s food and water, there will be life. Thus, bacteria will be there.

because algae will flourish on all these extra nutrients in the water (which is washed into rivers from surface run off [rain water running over surface to reach rivers/seas/lakes etc]) but the algae uses up all the oxygen in the water meaning other plants and animals will die
