Abstract
Abstract: The present study was conducted to evaluate the groundwater quality for drinking purposes in selected locations of the Eastern- South Rajasthan of India. Total eight sights groundwater samples were collected during 2022 and the samples were analyzed for physicochemical parameters i.e., pH, total hardness, total dissolved solids, Nitrate, Sulphate, fluoride, Chloride, and alkalinity were calculated. The results of the study are illustrated with the help of descriptive statistics, diagrams, and the water quality index (WQI). The focus of this research was to assess the current state of groundwater quality and the spatial distribution of characteristics in order to determine the quality of drinkable water. The WQI was used to categorize the samples into categories based on its acceptability for consumption. It is observed that most of the samples fall in the water unsuitable for drinking purposes category and a few samples are in the very poor water category.
