Does anyone know about old stories/rumors of Central american river "gods" snatching children (1800's) -- other stories about the water actually being poisoned and killing people or making them crazy. Anybody?

You might want to read some Aztec mythology, particularly that of Cihuacóatl, who steals children at night from crossroads, and of Quetzalcoatl, the serpent god that began as an earth deity and eventually conquered and took on the aspects of a number of other gods -- particularly the water god Tlaloc.
Hi Nerak - I think I've seen some accounts of poisoned water from metallic / mineral run-off, you might want to check on that (Google). Puma
You might want to look up the Aztec myth of the Ahuizotl, a water monster.
