Operation Stop That Contamination

ASSIGNMENT
A recent epidemic has devastated the creatures and plants surrounding the colonist’s base camp. The plants are wilting and dying in a time where they should be flourishing and replenishing. The animals have become far bolder than usual; sneaking into camp in the middle of the day to snatch a couple of patties right off the barbecue, only to be found dead and covered in a series of nasty, bulb-shaped boils hours later. After a number of tests concluding that the source of these illnesses is the river (void of any fish or other aqua life) that roars by the east side of the camp, the colonists rightly decided that they would no longer use that water as a resource. Nothing of consequence has happened to any of the colonists as of right now- but, this contamination has to be put to a stop. The colonists cannot sit around and watch easily as the flora and fauna surrounding the river waste away.
Saniya, Satehl, Ashirha and Kenshi have been assigned the daunting task of finding the cause and coming up with a reasonable solution.
The four of them have been given one tent, four sleeping bags, enough non-perishable food to last for a week and equipment to cook it with as well as a compass. It is up to the guardians to decide what else their charges are going to need and how, exactly, they are going to travel- by foot or by canoe/kayak/motor boat?
A hint: whatever is in the water is not acidic. Therefore, the boats will be more than fine. Just be careful not to fall in. Oh, yeah and no splashing! ;D [This does not mean you character can’t fall in the water or get wet. After all, it would be interesting to see what might come of it ICly. It just might not prove to be very good for their health. Whether the consequences are permanent or temporary is entirely up to you.]
Consider the source of the contamination- What might be causing so much harm to the river system? Will the Masques need to protect themselves from what (or perhaps who) it is?
