Self-supporting community- based mitigation program that provides arsenic safe water using modified dugwells along with public education on water related health effects.
Narrative
This is a proposed site for dugwell #PW143RSLP1 located in the village Rosullapur para in Chakdah block of Nadia district. Debdas Das donated the site for the community.
Other Issues
Unusual and unexpected issues faced during project execution
Research and Development is part of the project. This is a borewell with a 30 foot pipe of diameter of 10 inches and thickness 8 inches. No concrete rings are used in this model. This has been modified to observe the availability of water throughout the year. Though these borewells are arsenic safe, chlorination will continue. See the picture showing the tube attached to the borewell that is used to pour the theoline solution.
