Abstract
In order to assess the suitability of water sources for human consumption, six water samples were taken from open wells and drinking bore wells in several selected regions in the Kalaburagi district of Karnataka state, India, from December 2020 to January 2022. The analysis found that the local water sources are contaminated. Total dissolved solids, total alkalinity, chloride, calcium, and magnesium levels in the water exceeded the permissible limits. The samples analysed for the presence of microbial contamination indicate a worrying scenario from the point of view of public health. As a result, such studies must be expanded to include open wells and bore wells in individual homes, as well as detailed investigations of the physicochemical and microbiological quality of drinking water sources in Kalaburagi district.
