rust colored standing water

was over helping neighbor lady today. while walking down her driveway I noticed standing water in low spot of her field. the water was rust colored. i'm curious. what would cause the water to be rust colored? thanks
 
Can be caused by a few things. If you have a lot of red clay it will do that or if there is a lot of iron ore in the ground that can cause if. Etc.
 
If you see red, standing water around a Mine or Quarry, DON'T TOUCH IT! , it's Rock Acid. The water leaches the acid out of the rock, usually has a pH of 2-3, highly acidic.
