Abstract : Water is a fundamental substance for basic survival of living beings. The statistics revealed that there has been an alarming increase in the scarcity of water across the globe. This work investigated the status of water quality in Udalka village in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand. This research was carried out in a rural village, where one of the tributaries of river Ganges is the source of water, a prime source for the regions in upper half of India. The initial phase entailed the analysis of levels of contamination and steps to decrease their concentration. Water quality levels in the surrounding zones of the Udalka village helped in identification of the pollutants. The study was followed by the design of a solution for augmented potable water quality. The observation validated the rationale of an Internet of Things technology-based rationale for addressing water quality. It also focused on modern technology to ensure adaptability by the villagers for judicious use of water.
