Groundwater is one of the primary sources of drinking water in rural and semi-urban regions, including Manendragarh Block of Manendragarh–Chirmiri–Bharatpur district, Chhattisgarh. The present study aims to assess the physico-chemical characteristics of borewell water and evaluate its suitability for drinking purposes. A total of representative borewell water samples were collected from different locations within the study area and analyzed using standard analytical methods. The physico-chemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness, alkalinity, chloride, nitrate, fluoride, calcium, magnesium, and iron were determined. The obtained results were compared with the permissible limits prescribed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for drinking water quality. The analysis revealed that most parameters were within acceptable limits; however, certain locations exhibited elevated levels of hardness, TDS, and iron, which may pose health concerns if consumed over prolonged periods. The study highlights the influence of geological formations and local anthropogenic activities on groundwater quality. Overall, the borewell water in the Manendragarh Block is found to be moderately suitable for drinking, with some sites requiring appropriate treatment before consumption. The findings of this study will be useful for local authorities and policymakers in implementing effective water management and treatment strategies to ensure safe drinking water supply.
