  • Abstract:
  • This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the physicochemical and bacteriological quality of drinking water across 118 villages in the Dindori district, Madhya Pradesh. Key water quality parameters, including pH, electrical conductivity, chloride, sulphate, and alkalinity, carbonate, bicarbonate, sodium, calcium, and magnesium as well as residual sodium carbonate, sodium adsorption ratio, dissolved oxygen, and biochemical oxygen demand were evaluated. While some parameters met the guidelines set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), several samples exhibited elevated levels, signaling potential health risks. The bacteriological analysis revealed alarming contamination, with a dominance of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus, both indicators of severe faecal pollution. The widespread presence of coliform bacteria in many water samples confirmed the water's unsuitability for human consumption, posing a significant threat to public health. The findings underscore the urgent need for immediate intervention, including rigorous water treatment protocols like chlorination, to curb bacterial growth and prevent the spread of waterborne diseases. The study also highlights the critical role of public education on hygiene and sanitation in mitigating contamination, as anthropogenic activities, including improper waste disposal, have heavily polluted the groundwater systems. Without swift corrective measures, the region faces a heightened risk of disease outbreaks and long-term water insecurity.
