Nowadays, in urban regions, increasing water pollutants are affecting water quality. Urban conglomerations are being identified, to understand the challenges faced, in examining water quality. This research aims to analyze the fundamental issues related to assessing water quality in the urban Indian context. The causes of water scarcity and the impact of pollutants on urban water are also studied. Water quality assessment and Physicochemical parameters show serious findings regarding water quality and contamination through maps. The author tried to discuss the severity of the situation in India and the endangerment it brings if the issues and prospects are not taken into consideration. The paper discusses the readiness of the urban population for future challenges associated with water contamination and risk reduction.
