Various kind of human development is resulting in different kind of pollution to  the   water resources . Monitoring of Drinking  water  quality and  its  serious analysis  is very  significant  relative  to  access the human health hazards. This paper  is  an attempt  for  the  same purpose . The   sample were collected from  main areas  of the  Bikaner City and were analysed for the  desired physiochemical  parameters applying  the  internationally  valid standard methods.  Results  were compared with the  international standards. It  was  found that  drinking  water quality  is   very  poor  leading  to  very dangerous  health hazards  as  the   most of the  samples  were not   found  to  be  fit  on  international drinking  water standards. This  study  suggests a need to revise a more advance drinking water resources development and  public health awareness policy and in depth research.
