Small-scale piped water supply
End-user inclusive water research in arsenic affected areas in India and Bangladesh (DELTAP)
Generally, abstracted groundwater is aerated, leading to iron (Fe2+) oxidation to Fe3+ and precipitation as Fe3+-(hydr)oxide (HFO) flocs. This practice of passive groundwater treatment, however, is not considered a barrier for arsenic (As), as removal efficiencies vary widely (15

Storage containers are usually used to provide a constant water head in decentralized, community groundwater treatment systems for the removal of iron (Fe) and arsenic (As). However, the commonly practiced aeration prior to storage assists in rapid and complete Fe2+ oxidation, re

Sequential iron (as Fe2+) oxidation has been found to yield improved arsenic (as As(III)) uptake than the single-step oxidation. The objective of this study was to gain a better understanding of interactions with phosphate (PO43−) and silicate (SiO42−) during sequential Fe2+ and

In the arsenic-contaminated Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna Delta in India and Bangladesh, small-scale piped water supply seems a promising way to provide safe drinking water to households in the region. The use of smartphone applications can support monitoring of the system and enhanc

Institutional Reform for Community Participation
Towards Community Adoption of Piped Water Supply Systems in Arsenic Affected Regions of Rural Bangladesh
Arsenic contamination of groundwater in Bangladesh is one of the largest naturally occurring groundwater calamity in South Asia. The rural people, about 64% of the population (104 million people) suffer the most from this grand challenge as they are still heavily dependent on gro
