Leaching of Iron, Controlling Factors and Implication to Arsenic Mobilization in an aquifer of the Brahmaputra Floodplain

To understand the process of iron leaching and arsenic (As) mobilization, three bore wells were drilled in suspected iron and arsenic enriched areas of Jorhat, Assam, India, to study possible release and mobilization process in the aquifer. Sediments and groundwater samples, collected from different depths in these boreholes were analyzed for...
