“…One of the most objective, straightforward, and thorough methods for assessing the quality of potable drinking water is the EWQI [26][27][28]. The village, EWQI score, water quality, and EWQI rank for the Beenaganj-Chachura block are shown in Table 6.…”

The present research work investigates the impact of natural and anthropogenic inputs on the chemistry and quality of the groundwater in the Beenaganj-Chachura block of Madhya Pradesh, India. A total of 50 groundwater samples were examined for Nitrates, Fluoride, chlorides, TDS, Calcium, Magnesium, pH, total hardness and conductivity and their impact on Entropy Weighted Water Quality Index (EWQI) and pollution index of groundwater (PIG) was investigated. According to analytical findings, Ca, Mg, Cl-, SO42-, and NO3- exceed the desired limit (DL) and permitted limit (PL) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and the World Health Organization (WHO). According to PIG findings, 76%, 16%, and 8% of groundwater samples, respectively, fell into the insignificant, low, and moderate pollution categories.

“…According to the World Health Organization (Cotruvo, 2017), about 80% of all diseases in human beings are water-borne. Once the groundwater is contaminated, it is difficult to ensure its restoration and proper quality by preventing the pollutants from entering the source (Yang et al, 2023). Groundwater is an indispensable renewable resource found on earth, significant for supporting habitat, maintaining hydrological balance as well as sustaining human needs (Asadi et al, 2007;Subbarao et al, 1997).…”

Artificial fishponds play a pivotal role in global aquaculture, serving as a source of livelihood and nourishment for many communities. Ensuring the sustained health and productivity of Fishes in these environments relies heavily on water quality management. This assessment was done to determine the water quality of ten artificial fishponds in the south-eastern part of Sierra Leone using twelve physicochemical factors (pH, BOD, EC, TDS, turbidity, COD, Fe 2+ , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , NH 3 , 3 NO − , and alkalinity) to find out the Water Quality Index (WQI) and spatial distribution of respective parameters. The assessment of artificial fishponds using WQI and Inverse Distant Weighting (IDW) integration represents a relatively underexplored area within the domain of environmental water resources. The WQI was determined using the "Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Index'' method. The results of WQI in the study area range from 65.05 to 147.26. Several locations have water quality deemed unsuitable for consumption, while others range from good to very poor. It is essential to address and improve water quality in locations categorized as unsuitable for consumption and very poor to ensure safe and healthy water sources. It was also clear from the calculation that the smaller the mean concentration value of the pH as compared to the ideal value (7), the smaller the WQI value and the better the water quality. To keep the artificial fishpond water in good condition, mass domestic use should be controlled, and draining of surrounding organic matter should be stopped in ponds Bo_001, Ke-nema_001, and Kenema_002.

“…The presence of these pollutants and contaminants can have serious implications for human health and the environment. Therefore, it is important to monitor water quality and take appropriate measures to prevent further deterioration [12][13][14]. Anthropogenic factors such as the improper disposal of pharmaceuticals, metabolic excretion, industrial use, and municipal sewage have contributed to this decline [15].…”

Water resources are crucial in developing any area as they serve as a major source of potable, agricultural, and industrial water. Water contamination, caused by natural and anthropogenic activities, poses a significant threat to public health globally. This review synthesizes data from various studies published in national and international journals, as well as reports from governmental and non-governmental organizations. Our primary objective is to understand and review previous research on water pollution, contamination types, and the effects of water contamination on public health. Water pollution studies generally involve a scientific understanding of the biological, chemical, and physical processes that control the movement of contaminants in the underground environment. The nature and severity of health consequences vary based on several factors, including the chemical composition, duration of exposure, and concentration of pollutants. This work highlights the human health risks associated with current research topics such as anthropogenic, geogenic, microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and heavy metals. A section on remedial measures and mitigation strategies is included to emphasize sustainable approaches to water conservation, replenishment, and sustainability. However, there is a lack of comprehensive knowledge regarding the distribution, toxic effects, and human health risks associated with different sources of contamination. This review thus establishes links between multiple sources of pollution, their toxicity to human health, and approaches to health risk assessment.
