Groundwater serves as a primary source of drinking water in semi-arid regions of India, including the Sanganar area of Jaipur. This study evaluates the physicochemical characteristics of groundwater collected from ten sampling locations (W1–W10) between September and December 2023. The samples were analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), calcium, magnesium, potassium, chloride, nitrate, sulphate, and fluoride using standard analytical methods. The results indicate that pH values are within desirable limits, reflecting slightly alkaline conditions. However, EC and TDS exceed permissible limits at several locations, suggesting elevated ionic concentrations. Magnesium levels are significantly high in most samples, contributing to hardness. Nitrate and fluoride concentrations exceed permissible limits at site W1, posing potential health risks. The study highlights the need for continuous monitoring and effective groundwater management strategies to ensure safe drinking water quality.
