Abstract: The present study evaluates the physico-chemical properties of water from Shivnandanpur, Bishrampur, located in the Surajpur district of Chhattisgarh, India. This region relies heavily on its water resources for domestic, agricultural, and industrial purposes, necessitating a comprehensive assessment of water quality to ensure environmental and public health. Samples were collected from various water sources, including groundwater and surface water, during different seasons. Key parameters analyzed include pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO), and concentrations of major cations (calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium) and anions (chloride, sulfate, nitrate, bicarbonate).

The results reveal significant variations in water quality, with some parameters exceeding permissible limits set by national and international water quality standards. Seasonal fluctuations were observed, indicating the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors such as agricultural runoff, industrial discharge, and local geological conditions. The findings highlight areas of concern regarding water usability for drinking and irrigation purposes and suggest the need for targeted remediation strategies. This study provides a baseline for future research and underscores the importance of sustainable water management practices in Shivnandanpur to safeguard environmental and public health.

Keywords: Water quality, Physical properties, chemical properties, conductivity.
