Numerous physical, chemical, and biological properties, characterize the quality of water. Anthropogenic activities are leading to the worsening of the quality of Punjab's groundwater and surface water. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, agricultural and urban watershed discharge is the major and pervasive cause of contamination. High concentrations of nutrients, metals, pesticides, microbes, and other organic compounds may be present in these waters. People are afflicted with a variety of ailments as a result of drinking contaminated water. Therefore, periodic checking of water quality is imperative. The following variables are taken into account: pH, alkalinity, turbidity, TDS, total hardness, DO, BOD, sulphates, chlorides, and fluorides, as well as the carcinogens arsenic, lead, cadmium, and uranium. The study reveals the water quality in several areas of Punjab and proposes that periodic evaluations of water quality parameters should be carried out.
