Once forced to drink arsenic-
contaminated ground water, residents of a remote hamlet in West Bengal near
Indo-Bangla border are now purifying water from ponds and selling packaged safe
drinking water to neighbouring villages. Using a new innovative technology from
France, village co-operative society Madhusudankati Samabay Krishi Unnayan
Samity has constructed a water purification project which converts contaminated
pond water into safe drinking water.
