In some places, the community has formed water committee to take care of the plants in future. Each plant is delivering 3000-4000lts of water everyday to around 100 families. These plants have been able to supply good quality water for drinking and cooking and thus have eased up the work of the village women who earlier used to carry water from 3-4 kms away.

SAR Technology: Background
http://www.insituarsenic.org/origin.html
WHO has emphasised: "Arsenic in drinking water is a major public health hazard and should be dealt with as an emergency.". What is worrying is that the arsenic, which is swept down from the Himalayas and used to be deposited in silt on riverbanks, started becoming soluble between 30 and 40 years ago. Scientists say this is because the introduction of modern methods of intensive farming, using huge quantities of chemical fertilisers, upset the balance of nature. Project Description and Objectives. Institu...

Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. The process of in-situ oxidation of groundwater virtually transfers the oxidation and filtration process of the conventional above ground water treatment plants into the aquifer. The underground aquifer is used as a natural biochemical reactor. Merudandi, Basirhat,. North 24 Parganas, WB. 12th June, 2008. 18th august, 2008.

Traditional Process of Arsenic Treatment. 1 The underground aquifer is turned into a natural biochemical reactor that removes water-borne arsenic along with iron and manganese by adsorption based phenomenon, thus eliminating the need of artificial and replacable filter beds. This technology emerged as a winner among 2,525 competitors in the. WB Development Marketplace Global Competition, 2006. Also, it was selected for the ". In Cape Town, South Africa from among 230 project proposals worldwide.
