Water is crucial as it profoundly affects humans, wildlife, and aquatic life. The quality of water hinges on its composition, physical properties, and organic attributes. The rapid expansion of industrialization and increased use of chemical pesticides in agriculture have significantly contributed to the deterioration of water quality through contamination. The consumption of this polluted water has led to waterborne infections in the human population. In the current study, the quality parameters of water in the Kushalgarh block have been assessed. The assessment of water quality parameters in the Kushalgarh block indicates that all measured parameters remain within permissible limits. Despite concerns over industrialization and agricultural pesticide use, the study found no significant deviation in physical, chemical, or organic attributes of the water. These findings suggest that, while regular monitoring is essential, the current water quality poses no immediate health risks to humans or aquatic life.
