I used to live in New Delhi and did some travelling while I was there.
First of all, the water in Delhi isn't so bad. The only thing you may get is a stomach virus that we used to call Delhi Belly. It's kind of like an initiation into India; you'll probably get it. It doesn't last long though.
I wish I could be more specific with locations, but I don't remember exactly where things are. In Rajasthan, you can go to forts and the Blue City. Down in Agra of course there is the Taj Mahal. In Jodhpur and Jaisalmeer there are more forts, which are interesting, but I would also recommend going to a bird sanctuary. There's a fairly large one in Jaisalmeer, I believe, which has about a zillion different types of birds, not to mention some tigers that you might see early in the morning if you go at the right time.
In Delhi itself, there are a couple markets you may want to hit, seeing as they're both interesting and cultural hubs. There's Sarojini, Dilli Haat, and Janpath, those are the biggies. Old Delhi is a little rundown, but has some more historic stuff than you'll find in New Delhi.
I'll come back if I think of more stuff.
