        abstract = {Water is an essential natural resource on our planet, indispensable for almost all human endeavors. The rising demand for water has caused excessive extraction of groundwater, leading to considerable effects on its availability and quality. The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that around 80% of illnesses are associated with water-related problems. In the Yadgir district of Karnataka, India, the community predominantly depends on groundwater for their drinking water supply. The inhabitants of this region are facing fluorosis and associated health complications as a result of the geochemical irregularity of fluoride present in the groundwater. The region under investigation is characterized by a warm climate and receives a moderate amount of rainfall. Water samples were gathered from 24 villages situated in 2 talukas within the district during both the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons, following established protocols. These samples were analyzed for various parameters, such as pH, total hardness (TH), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), chloride (Cl), total dissolved solids (TDS), fluoride (F), nitrate (NO3), sulfate (SO4), and alkalinity. An analysis is conducted on the physical and chemical characteristics of coal.},
