No, lots of countries had a problem with water pollution, including the US (Tom Lehrer wrote a satire song in '65 on that issue[1]), and then they implemented measures to improve it.

Edit, I was wrong on the improving pollution side note, sorry. Anyway the capitalist consumism will pollute more than it can be improved...
