Elevated arsenic in deeper groundwater of the western Bengal basin, India: Extent and controls from regional to local scale

The deeper groundwater (depending on definition) of the Bengal basin (Ganges-Brahmaputra delta) has long been considered as an alternate, safe drinking-water source in areas with As-enrichment in near-surface groundwater. The present study provides the first collective discussion on extent and contr...
