Water is the basis of life on Earth. Without water, nobody can imagine how to survive flora as well as fauna without water. Water covers 71 percent of the area of the Earth's surface and the oceans hold about 97 percent of Earth's water. 3 percent of the water is found in lakes, rivers, ponds, underground aquifers, glaciers, etc. About 97.5 percent of water is salty, which is not suitable for daily use, and about 2.5 percent of water is fresh in some lakes, ponds, rivers, glaciers, etc., in which only 0.32 percent of freshwater is found in liquid form on the Earth's surface. In India, the main sources of drinking water are rivers, tube wells, hand pumps, bore wells, wells, and rainwater. For many reasons, like factories, agriculture fertilizers, wastage pits, mining, irregular water management etc., the quality of drinking water is affected. That's why people have to suffer from many diseases like cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid, polio etc. The rural area of the Mahoba district in the Bundelkhand region is located in a drought- prone region of the country. The main reasons for the water crisis in the rural areas are the low groundwater level, low annual rainfall in the entire region, hard rocks, high water evaporation, excess use of groundwater, etc., and the quality of drinking water is affected by enormous mining, stone mills, raw latrine pits, and people's awareness, etc. It is very important to take quick action to save water resource quality and increase the rate of management of water facilities in the rural area. Nowadays, the scenario has changed to reflect the population requirements and health of the local people of that region. We should make young people, women, students, and local people aware of the need to save water by applying various methods and techniques to improve the facilities and quality of drinking water in the rural area. An attempt has also been made in this research paper to understand the changing scenario of drinking water quality and facilities in the rural areas to solve the problem of water deficiency.
