Fluorosis is one of the most prevailing groundwater related disease in developing countries like India and China. In India, 20 out of 29 states have some extent of groundwater fluoride contamination. In especially, Telangana State all (10 out of 10) districts are fluoride affected (Adimalla and Venkatayogi, 2017) [2]. However, this article describes about fluoride contamination and correlation between fluoride and other hydrochemical parameters, in the Munneru river basin (MRB) groundwater, Telangana State, South India. The fluoride concentration in groundwater of Munneru river basin ranged from 0.3 to 8.0 mg/L, with a mean of 1.607 mg/L. About 35% of the groundwater samples have fluoride concentration above > 1.5 mg/L which are unsuitable for drinking purposes. However, 53% of groundwater locations are within the acceptable limits (0.5-1.5 mg/L) and these are very suitable for drinking purposes and remaining 22% of collected groundwater samples were having less than the required limit of 0.5 mg/L.
氟中毒是印度和中国等发展中国家最普遍的与地下水相关的疾病之一。在印度，29个邦中有20个邦存在一定程度的地下水氟污染。特别是，特伦甘纳邦所有（10个中的10个）地区都受到氟的影响（阿迪马拉和文卡塔约吉，2017年）[2]。然而，本文描述了印度南部特伦甘纳邦蒙内鲁河流域（MRB）地下水中的氟污染以及氟与其他水化学参数之间的相关性。蒙内鲁河流域地下水中的氟浓度范围为0.3至8.0毫克/升，平均为1.607毫克/升。约35%的地下水样本氟浓度高于1.5毫克/升，不适合饮用。然而，53%的地下水点位在可接受范围内（0.5 - 1.5毫克/升），非常适合饮用，其余22%的采集地下水样本低于0.5毫克/升的要求限值。
