Analysis reveals poor water quality from various sources in a deprived region, suggesting urgent need for treatment strategies.

Well water showed the highest level of parameters exceeding WHO thresholds, with 80% failing safety standards.
Dam water followed closely, with 70% of its parameters above WHO recommendations for safe water quality.
Tap and bore-hole water shared similar levels, both having 40% of quality indicators above recommended limits.
