Groundwater quality in some villages of Lachhmangarh Tehsil, Sikar District, Rajasthan, India was studied before and after the monsoon season. Samples from Hand Pumps, Open Wells, and Tube Wells were analyzed for various parameters like pH, fluoride, nitrate, and more. The fluoride levels in the water exceeded safe limits set by health organizations, leading to cases of dental and skeletal fluorosis in the region.
