Quality of Ground Water Access to safe drinking water is a fundamental human right, yet in India, groundwater, which supplies 90% of rural and over 45% of urban water, often suffers from quality issues due to overexploitation and industrial contamination. Many districts report high levels of harmful substances like fluoride and arsenic, affecting millions with water-borne diseases and health risks. Groundwater quality varies based on geological factors and human activities, necessitating regular sampling and analysis to monitor safety. Improved community awareness, traditional purification methods, and sustainable management practices are essential for enhancing water quality and ensuring public health.
