Abstract
Drinking water is a basic requirement for life and survival of animals and plants. Unpotable water results in many water borne diseases viz: diarrhoea, fluorosis, cholera, colitis, etc. these ailments potentially constrain human resource development and productivity, especially of the poor. However, around 22 percent of households in India lack access to safe drinking water sources, like tap, hand-pump and tube well (Census 2001). Low income communities which rely on untreated surface and ground waters supplies for the domestic uses are the most exposed to the impact of poor water quality. Availability of potable water will ensure the sustainability of socio-economic development. However, more than 90% of the rural population uses untreated ground water. Nearly half of the population is not at all aware of the water borne diseases affecting their health. Having in view the current drawbacks of portability of water in entire Bundelkhand region. The present study in this regard was carried out in rural area of Manikpur Block in Chitrakoot (U.P.). The Block comprises 62 villages which are facing great shortage of drinking water as regards its quality and availability. The only resource is ground water from deep strata, which is unsuitable due to rocks, erosions; they release Fluoride, Iron etc. The recent improvement in technologies regarding assessing such water were followed as per water quality indices (WQI’s) and GIS techniques viz: physico-chemical factors- colour, turbidity, taste, odour, conductivity, pH, D.O., B.O.D, Ammonical nitrogen, Nitrate, Fluoride, Iron and bacteriology. i.e E.coli, total coliform, besides meteorological data were also considered during the course of study March-June, 2014.
