Security of Deep Groundwater in the Coastal Bengal Basin Revealed by Tracers

Uncertainty persists regarding the vulnerability of deep groundwater across Asia's megadeltas. In the coastal Bengal Basin aquifer system, shallow groundwater (<100 m) commonly features high salinity or arsenic concentrations, and deep, better-quality, groundwater supplies drinking water...
