This is a very complicated question, there are so many different types of water pollution and different species of plants react very differently. Good places to start are the U.S. environmental protection agency, the office of water is at:
http://www.epa.gov/ow/
and there is a link to a kid's page from there:

You might also try state EPA's, Illinois is at:
