No it cannot, It is spread by bite of infected animal (most commonly dog) or with the contact of their saliva on open wound.

Rabies spreads through bites or licks on the persons skin. Don't worry
Next Steps
However it's advisable to keep stray animals away from water supply, while not a source of rabies. They can transmit a number of bacterial, viral and protozoal infections through water
