Other than water treatment facilities being shut down, I've never heard anything about contamination to natural water sources.
Won't hurt my well.
You city folk may have an issue with distribution.

Might be kinda hard on electric eels... 
I was reading up a lot about it yesterday but didn't find anything about that they said within a year 90 percent of the population would be dead I figure that percentage would be a little higher on the survival side
An EMP will only effect equipment that is powered up or sustains a 'keep alive' voltage at the time of the burst. Things like newer computer controlled cars, cell phones, digital tvs and watches etc. If the unit is unplugged or the batteries are out should be no problems.
No one really knows what an EMP blast will do, military aircraft are hardened and tested for EMP but those devices fail or are faulty.
If it happens we still may not know what effect it has on our electrical grid because Facebook won't work anymore.

I'm not sure that's correct. A massive EMP would induce voltage in coils and windings (relays, chokes/filters, antennas, generators, alternators, motors, transformers, etc.). I don't know whether that voltage would be enough to damage the wiring itself, but the coils would surely unload into other components that can't stand much over-voltage (CMOS, MOSFETS, and such).
Kinda scary actually.

HAHAHA!!! Isn't that the dammed truth.
