UROOJ FATIMA
n Bihar, a glass of potable water hardly finds its way through the stomach of even one person. Thanks to the ever-increasing pollution of potable water in different parts of the state, drinking water is proving to be a curse. The situation has reached such dangerous proportion that none can take drinking water anywhere in the state for granted because it could be contaminated with either excess of arsenic, fluoride or iron or it may be deficient in iodine. While thousands of people in the state have been affected by various diseases
after consuming contaminated water, many have even lost their lives. It has been observed that soil sediments in the floodplains of the Ganga are contaminated with arsenic which continuously finds its way in groundwater. The groundwater in many districts of northern Bihar, bordering Nepal, is estimated to have been severely affected by arsenic and chemical contamination. Seeing the looming water crisis, especially during summer, Dr Bindeshwar Pathak, founder of Sulabh International Social Service Organisation, came to the rescue for the Bihar People. He launched a cost-effective water project to provide the cheapest drinking water in the world.
