Sorry Gene, I thought that I had answered your question clearly.  In
general, pesticides, foliar fertilizers, and anything else sprayed on
plants (including substances such as stylet oil) are suspended in water.
The key word is "suspended," as most insecticide active ingredients are
insoluble in water.

BTW, once you finally look at the maps in the study you may realize that
pesticide residues measured in the study were unlikely to be carried for
many miles horizontally through soil, despite the natural movements of
water.
