Abstract

Water, essential for all life, is abundantly present in nature and crucial for the environmental health of communities. Pakistan, ranking ninth among countries with limited access to clean water, has 21 million people out of 207 million facing this challenge. The study focuses on analyzing drinking water quality and health impacts in Havelian district. Twenty-one samples from eleven locations were examined for various physical and chemical parameters. Respondents overwhelmingly favored bottled water as safest, while solutions like filters and pipeline upgrades were suggested to address water quality issues. Few health issues were reported due to overall better water quality, with typhoid and diarrhea being most common. The study offers insights valuable for policymakers and researchers, discussed along with recommendations in subsequent sections.
