Abstract: Open-well water serves as a vital source of drinking and household water in rural areas of India, including Sheohar District Town in Bihar. This research evaluates the quality of open well water, focusing on its physicochemical parameters, biological contaminants, and environmental implications. The study highlights key issues such as high turbidity, elevated TDS levels, and microbial contamination, which pose serious health risks. Seasonal variations in water quality parameters were statistically analyzed, revealing significant differences between pre- and post-monsoon periods. Additionally, avifaunal diversity, an indicator of ecosystem health, was assessed, showing a correlation between biodiversity and water quality. Images of avifaunal species, such as kingfishers and wagtails, were documented near water sources. The findings underscore the urgent need for community awareness, protective infrastructure for wells, and regular water quality monitoring to ensure safe and sustainable use of this vital resource. Statistical tools, graphical representation, and visual data support the conclusions drawn in this paper, offering a comprehensive understanding of the water quality issues in Sheohar.
