Abstract	The availability of safe drinking water stands as a major problem in India because dangerous substances including fluoride, arsenic, nitrates and microbial pathogens threaten human health. This research examines drinking water quality throughout urban and rural territories to determine major pollutants together with their health effects. The research shows that waterborne diseases spread due to microbial contamination yet fluoride and arsenic exposure produces chronic skeletal and neurological disorders. High nitrate concentrations found primarily in agricultural areas create a danger of infantile methemoglobinemia development. The Jal Jeevan Mission government initiative faces public health risks because of poor implementation and insufficient water treatment facilities. The study demands improved regulation policies and decentralized filtration systems and community-based interventions to reduce health threats to people. The Indian population requires a combined intersectoral strategy that combines technological progress with policy reforms to achieve universal access to safe sustainable drinking water.
