Prufrock has all the normal desires of a young man, but he is ultimately incapable of doing anything. He is compelled to think everything through, but it doesn't help him at all. The thoughts just can't transform into actions, in part because he is afraid, in part because he lacks confidence, and in part because he can see no sense in all of it. He doesn't "dare disturb the universe" by asking "an overwhelming question". He is only capable of entering trivial, petty interactions with the world obsessed with material, "the cups, the marmalade, the tea, / <span>Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me". This matter renders Prufrock's existence futile, and he is all too aware of it. His intelligence doesn't help him at all, because it locks him into a self-indulgent, passive world, rendering him aware of all the impossibilities.</span>
Generally speaking, that is correct. A dystopia is the opposite of a utopia, and is a place which we define as unpleasant or bad. Therefore, what you might find in a dystopia is what you would consider as being unpleasant or bad. Hence, if you think polluted lakes and rivers are unpleasant, then they are likely to be part of a dystopia "for you". However, each person's dystopia may be different, as it depends on personal preference, or in this case, personal disgust.
