In the deltaic plain of the Ganges‐Meghna‐Brahmaputra Rivers, arsenic concentrations in groundwater commonly exceed regulatory limits (>50 µg L −1 ) because FeOOH is microbially reduced and releases its sorbed load of arsenic to groundwater. Neither pyrite oxidation nor competitive exchange with ...

Across West Bengal and Bangladesh, concentrations of Cl in much groundwater exceed the natural, upper limit of 10 mg/L. The Cl/Br mass ratios in groundwaters range up to 2500 and scatter along mixing lines between waste-water and dilute groundwater, with many falling near the mean end-member value f...

In forty six wells >150 m deep, from across the arsenic-polluted area of south-central Bangladesh, groundwater composition remained unchanged between 1998 and 2011. No evidence of deteriorating water quality was found in terms of arsenic, iron, manganese, boron, barium or salinity over this period o...

Abstract Pollution of groundwater in the Bengal Basin (Bangladesh and West Bengal, India) by arsenic (As) puts at risk the health of more than 100 million consumers. Using 1,580 borehole lithological logs and published hydrochemistry on 2,387 wells, it was predicted that low-As (<10 μg/L) groundw...

Abstract In the Bengal Basin of Bangladesh and West Bengal (India), where arsenic (As) and salinity adversely affect groundwater in shallow aquifers (<150 m deep), consumers increasingly turn to “the deep aquifer” as a source of low‐As and low‐salinity water. We show that “the deep aquifer,” whic...

Arsenic contamination of groundwater is a major health problem and has been a growing concern in the last decade in several regions of the world, especially in South and Southeast Asia, including the Red River delta, Vietnam. Regional groundwater studies have been carried out in the vicinity of Hano...

Unfortunately, Nepal's current arsenic issueconcerning ground water was recognized much later than in other countries of South-Asia (e.g. West Bengal (India), Bangladesh, Cambodia, Vietnam, China). Nepal did not seem to be much affected by As poisoning ground water hosted by quaternary alluvial sedi...
