Here, water quality at different railway stations in Bangalore including Bangalore City Railway station Majestic, Malleshwaram railway station, and Yeshwanthpur railway station was chosen for the study. Collected samples were analyzed for physicochemical and, Biological parameters. The quality of drinking water has been checked and analyzed. The data were analyzed. Suitable suggestions and recommendations were made to decrease the problem of drinking water supply in a proper manner. This attempt will be helpful for the drinking water and its attribute problems in the study area and it leads to a sustainable example for future generations and also be a good fore step for the research field.
