High iron content in drinking water in Pathanamthitta, Kerala - What causes this? What is the solution for this problem?

I live in Pathanamthitta, Kerala. I am using borewell water. Last week I tested the quality of my borewell water in Kerala Water Authority (govt lab) and in the report says that the iron content is 1 and turbidity is 7.34  i.e both are above desired level. And for Nitrate (as No3) and fluoride(as F) is below desired level.

The iron content can be seen in water tank (yellow-orange mixed colour). It can be also seen at the bottom of buckets if we collect  water in a bucket and keep it for day. I m using this water for bathing. Please provide me with the best solution possible for my need and the causes of these contents.

Thanks in advance.
