When hiking, it's recommended to avoid urinating near bodies of water. This makes sense, since urine is full of waste products like urea that could harm the ecosystem or get into drinking water supplies. However, there are plenty of rivers in the world that are notoriously polluted. Is it possible for the diluting effect of the water in piss to outweigh the effects of the waste products in it?
