Dug wells: a potential safe source of drinking water for arsenic and iron contaminated region in North Bihar [1]

Megh Pyne Abhiyan (MPA) is a campaign and functional network of grassroots organization, resource organization and development professionals working towards understanding and strategically evolving local drinking water security framework through village-based solutions in the flood-prone regions of north Bihar. MPA’s effort of understanding groundwater dynamics including the quality aspect and its linkages to drinking water and sanitation in the alluvial flood plains of north Bihar was facilitated by Advanced Centre for Groundwater Development and Management (ACWADAM), Development Alternatives (DA), and Biome Solutions through technical inputs.
