The clean and pure drinking water is the basic need of human civilization. In this research paper tries to determine the pollution level and quality of drinking water of the chhindwara district. Drinking water in Chhindwara district various blocks were carried out and their biological effect on public health. This work covering physicochemical parameters alongside temperature, pH, turbidity, total hardness, alkalinity, TDS, COD, BOD, and DO, all measured by various testing methods across different sampling locations, following standard protocols. All data were evaluated against the acceptable levels set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding the human health benefits of consuming clean, fresh water.
