10 BIHAR - Play Ground of Ko s i NEPAL Rivers Arsenic in Bihar l A si o K l ia v u l n a F Be Gang Indian Craton ng al Ba si n Two highly contaminat ed zones

11 Population Exposed to arsenic laced water in Bihar Bihar shows a large spatial variability in arsenic concentration in the upper 50 m of Holocene fluvial sediments in the Ganges channel belt. As per our database an estimated 24% of the population of Bihar is exposed directly or indirectly to arsenic-contaminated drinking and irrigation water.

12 BIHAR FINDINGS 36,680 hand pumps tested -35% had arsenic contaminated water of >10 ppb. Highest As. Value Recorded 1861 ppb A total of 18 Bihar districts (< 65 blocks) are affected by high level of arsenic in the groundwater Trivalent arsenic 87 % in ground water of Bihar Worst-affected districts are Bhojpur, Bhagalpur, Buxar, Patna, Vaishali, Khagaria and Hand Pump with Arsenic Concentration Samastipur. of 1861 ppb

13 Bihar Findings. Considerable differences exist in the hydro-geochemistry between the different geologic/geomorphic terrains Younger Alluviums (80%) and Himalayan Piedmonts (75%) have the most As contaminated groundwater Pre-Cenozoic samples don t have any As >5 µ g/l Groundwater in all terrains are mostly Ca-HCO3 type Pre-Cenozoic Metamorphic and Younger Alluviums have the highest concentrations of Ca and HCO3 Younger Alluviums are more influenced by carbonate dissolution than Silica weathering

14 Bihar Findings.. Younger Alluviums and Himalyan Piedmonts have higher concentrations of redox-sensitive solutes (e.g As, Fe, Mn, NH4) Fe(II) and As(III) are the predominant Fe and As species in all terrains Younger Alluviums only show possible genetic relationship between Fe(II) and As(III) The groundwater in all terrains are probably in equilibrium with surface water stable isotope chemistry

15 Maize:Total As ug As g-1 Rice ug As g-1 Arsenic in food chain of Bihar Food Chain Irrigation Tube well =As 980 ppb

27 Management of arsenicosis Arsenic free safe water Dietary Supplement and anti-oxidant fruits/vegetables/protein is important along with application of ointment (5 20% Urea and salicylic) Complicated cases like skin cancer, ulcer, gangrene needs specialized medical and surgical management Social, economic and physical rehabilitation. Mass community awareness and support to develop community based rehabilitation system.

28 Arsenic Mitigation Options

29 Arsenic mitigation strategies and sustainability Options Pond Rainwater harvesting Dug well Surface Rain Sub-surface Pollution Accessibility Acceptability Collection Preservation Seasonal variability Water source Problems Bacterial contamination Acceptability Feasibility Low Low Better

30 Arsenic mitigation strategies and Options Deep tube well Piped water Arsenic removal filters Water source Deep aquifers Deep aquifers/treated Surface water Arsenic contaminated water Problems Uncertain Expensive Expensive No infrastructure Effectiveness? Expensive Environmentally problematic Feasibility Better but. Low Better

31 Most of mitigation strategies have failed in Bihar REDUNDENT RAINWATER HARVESTING UNIT DEFUNCT OVERHEAD TANK TO TAP REDUNDENT RESTORED SAFE AQUIFER OPEN WELL Arsenic Removal community Filters - Defunct

32 Rs.53 Crore GoB initiative in Bhojpur Ganga Water supply after treatment Dependent on electric power, a scarce commodity in Bihar Ganga is shifting from its current location as per our studies Ganga River Piped Water Scheme launched by GoB at Bhojpur

33 All of afore-mentioned schemes, though well-conceived, could not be sustained The required structures for these mitigation schemes are being constructed randomly, and are insufficient for the dense population. Water quality monitoring units exist at Panchayat level, but there is a lack of follow-up action and lack of communication between the Panchayats. Hence the concept of a decentralised, demand driven water quality initiatives is being compromised. Failure of the authorities to undertake monitoring and maintenance work in the post-construction phase has rendered the projects defunct. District-level water quality monitoring laboratories are not well equipped.

34 All of afore-mentioned schemes There is a lack of awareness and sensitization to arsenic contamination, and lack of ownership among the largely illiterate population. These factors have been the biggest contributory factors towards the absence of public participation in these government schemes. Community mobilisation is the sole answer to proper implementation of these schemes, in which private ownership is to be promoted.

35 Sustainable arsenic mitigation technologies for rural population [possible alternatives]

36 Possible alternative I: Gravity driven filter Gravity Driven Filter not dependent on electricity Adsorbent based filter developed by Aquapal,Sweden Easy to maintain Easy to operate 7 liters/hour Reduces arsenic from 600 ppb to > 10 ppb Low cost Household level water

37 Possible alternative II: community-based wellhead arsenic removal unit Adsorption based technology

38 Developed and Tested by Lehigh University, USA & A.N. College, Patna A. N. College, Patna with the help of Lehigh University in Bethlehem has installed a community-based wellhead arsenic removal unit in a remote village of Bihar Ramnagar, Maner The unit is based on adsorption technology developed by Lehigh University, USA. The project has been funded by Tagore - Sen Gupta Foundation. This unit is serving about 200 households of this village with approximately 7,000 litres of treated water produced per day, supplying nearly 1,000 villagers with arsenic-safe water. This unit can provide water without requiring electricity or external addition of chemicals.

39 Possible alternative III -Arsenic remediation by decentralized Reverse Osmosis treatment 39

40 Arsenic Remova l- Double RO system 98 % Arsenic Removal 98 % Iron Removal Abbildung 7: Wasserversorgungssystem Bind Toli [5] Arsenic reduction throughout the system, Bind Toli Iron reduction throughout the system, Bind Toli 40

41 Possible Alternative III- TRADITIONAL DUGWELLS Courtesy : Vishwanath Srikantaiah

42 Dug Well in arsenic free zone Dugwell AQUIFER - 1 (unconfined) <50 feet AQUIFER - 2 Arsenic Contaminated AQUIFER - 3 Arsenic Free

43 TRADITIONAL DUGWELLS PROPERLY SANITIZED [Project Well Initiative]

44 Interior of the dugwell The pvc pipe is shortened after insertion The delivery pipe is flexible for self adjustable water level

45 Possible Alternative IV- Bore-dugwell & Borewell Bore-dugwell pvc pipe length - 20ft Borewell pvc pipe length - 30ft dia (both have 10 ft of filter/perforated pipe)

46 The Peer Water Exchange Addresses This Challenge 2011 Peer Water Exchange 46

47 UNRESOLVED ISSUES RELATING TO ARSENIC CONTAMINATED DRINKING WATER SOURCES Research into Arsenic speciation, mobilization largely fragmented and repetitive Almost entire investigation into the hydro-geological aspects of arsenic contaminated aquifers have been confined to Bengal basin, the geological variations along the entire river basins warranting immediate attention. Lack of knowledge and medical infrastructure relating to diagnosis and treatment of arsenicosis. Lack of comprehensive database on arsenic contaminated aquifers and its implications Lack of maintenance and monitoring of mitigation structures Lack of Community Participation in arsenic mitigation

48 YES Water resource matters because survival of this civilization matters! THANKS
