Abstract	Analysis of the status of groundwater in MCC-B-Block, Davanagere, was conducted to evaluate its appropriateness for drinking and household use. With increasing urbanisation and potential contamination sources such as septic tanks, industrial discharges, and agricultural activities, Regular observation of water quality becomes essential. Key physicochemical parameters—such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), TDS, and hardness, along with primary ions including calcium and magnesium, and chloride—were analysed. The findings were compared against municipal water standards based on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) guidelines. While most parameters fell within permissible limits, certain samples exhibited elevated TDS and hardness, indicating possible contamination and the necessity for treatment before consumption. The study highlights the significance of regular monitoring and sustainable groundwater management for the protection of public health and environmental security in the MCC-B-Block area.
