Potentiality of shallow brown sand aquifers as an alternative safe drinking water source in Bengal Basin

The present study investigated the regional distribution of brown sand aquifers (BSA) as well as their hydrogeochemical contrast to grey sand aquifers (GSA). The data indicated that in BSA redox status is limited to the Mn oxides reduction stage, while in GSA, Fe oxides reduction to SO 4 2 - reducti...
