1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Arsenic Problem – Situation of Bangladesh
Arsenic contamination in groundwater and its toxic effect on human health is a major public health
problem in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh around 97% of the people are dependent on water supply from
the groundwater source at present. For more than 30 years tube wells have been introduced for safe
drinking water and domestic purposes on a mass scale. But recently the arsenic contamination in
groundwater has made this source unsafe. This has created major problems, especially among the
rural people. So far 61 districts out of 64 districts are affected with arsenic contamination in
groundwater. It is estimated that about 85 million people in Bangladesh are at risk of arsenic toxicity.
All the tube wells in Bangladesh have not yet surveyed. Only about 10-15% tube wells have been
surveyed and found that 70% - 40% tube wells have arsenic level above the WHO and Bangladesh
water quality standard of 0.01 and 0.05 mg/l respectively (DCH, 1998; DPHE, 1997). In some villages
100% of tube wells are contaminated with high level of arsenic.
1.2 Hazards of Arsenic Intake
Severe health effects have been observed in populations drinking arsenic-rich water over long periods
in countries worldwide. The symptoms and signs that arsenic causes appear to differ between
individuals, population groups and geographic areas. Arsenicosis - the clinical syndrome originating
from high dose arsenic poisoning ranges from spotted melanosis (skin pigmentation) and keratosis
(thickening of skin of palm/ foot) up to gangrene and carcinoma.
Long-term exposure to arsenic through drinking water causes cancer of the skin, lungs, urinary bladder,
and kidney, as well as other skin changes such as pigmentation changes and thickening
(hyperkeratosis) gangrene of limbs.
Arsenicosis patients suffer also socially and culturally. Youths are refused marriage, many women and
some men have been divorced and children are often asked to leave school. It is also important to non-
that no proper case management a arsenicosis case for prevalence was been under taken by govt, or
non govt agencies. DCH also with is limited resources trying to case for the arsenicosis patients.
1.3 Arsenic Mitigation Programme of DCH
4
DCH has been involved with the arsenic problem since 1996 when DCH doctors working at an annual
health camp at Pakshi, Pabna District first detected patients suffering symptoms of arsenicosis. DCH
lobbied extensively to establish this issue as a public health problem and went on to work with
Jadovpur University, Kolkata to sample survey the whole of Bangladesh. Since then it has collaborated
with various partners in research into the problem and solutions for mitigation as well as conducting its
own arsenic projects. DCH also provides training on arsenicosis and arsenic problems through its
Institute of Family Health, including training for oversees medical personnel e.g. The Nepalese Health
Department.
1.4 Wilson Arsenic Mitigation Program
For the last few years DCH has been implemtenting an arsenic mitigation programme with financial
assistance from charitable sources arranged by Prof. Richard Wilson, Department of Physics, Harvard University, USA. Already 27 dug well with pipeline network installed and 787 families 4391
Population are getting arsenic free safe water. Almost 126 arsenicosis patients are gradually improving
by drinking safe water. The project will continue in future. This program is working at three phases.
Phase 1 • Started on April 2002
•Renovated & Installed 39 DW (1 with pipe line system)
• Covered 631 families Serving 3250 users
Phase 2 • Started on March 2003
• Installed 17 DW (with pipe line system)
• Covered 518 families Serving 2903 users
Phase 3
• Ongoing from Nov 2003
• Renovated 9 DW & newly installation of 1DW(with pipe line
system)
• Target of 400 family Covering 2400 users
2. Brief Description of Dug WellThe low-cost options available for water supply systems in rural and peri-urban areas depend on the
hydrological conditions, availability of water source and the quality of water in the particular areas.
5
Drinking water supply is mainly based on ground water sources in Bangladesh. Now, the presence of
arsenic in ground water has become a great headache in Bangladesh. So attention is go towards the
surface water option. So technological option categories dug well, which is a very known technology of
water supply in Bangladesh. Most of the people used this technology before tube well came in. For the
past 30 to 40 years hand tube well was promoted on a mass scale. It is one of the cheapest and very
popular water options of drinking water preferably in rural area. Dug well water is also free from iron
and arsenic; hence dug wells are a potential source of sub surface water in acute arsenic and iron
problem areas in Bangladesh where arsenic contamination in groundwater and its toxic effect on
human health is a major public health problem in Bangladesh. But recently tube wells are found to be
contaminated Dug well is very known technology of water supply in Bangladesh. Most of the people
used this technology before tube well came in. For the past 30 to 40 years hand tube well was
promoted on a mass scale. Over the period tube well became very popular source of drinking water.
Recently tube wells are found to be contaminated with high level of arsenic all over the country. To
mitigate arsenic problem, Dhaka Community Hospital has started to provide dug well and other
alternative safe water options (PSF, RWH etc) in the arsenic affected communities in collaboration with
GOB and donor agencies. DCH is also providing dug wells with pipeline system in some areas.

2.2 Installation of Dug Well with Pipeline
March and April, driest months in the country, are considered the best time for digging well. During this
period, ground water remains at the lowest level. A hole is dug about a diameter of 36 inches. Depth
of well varies from place to place. Cement or baked clay ring is set from bottom to top and joining of
rings is cemented to keep the well water safe from contamination. An apron of about four feet is made
around the head wall and a 30-40 feet drain is constructed at the ground level to avoid water logging
around the head wall.
An electric pump machine pumps water from dug well to an overhead reservoir of 3000 L. Overhead
tank is installed on an 15 feet tall iron stand. The stand is fixed on the ground with RCC work. A main
water supply pipe (3 /4 '' plastic pipe) is connected with the tank for distribution of water to the
household level. 1/2'' GI pipeline is connected with the mainline to supply water at the household. 40-50
households are connected with the supply line.
2.3 Cost of Digging a Well with pipeline
Digging a well with pipeline and cementing its floor at the ground level would cost an amount of Tk
85,000/= to 90,000/= the price however, may differ from place to place.
2.4 Maintenance Procedure
Hardly any expense is required for maintaining
dug well. Well have to be cleaned once in a
year and it may cost an amount of Tk 3000 to
4000. The best time for cleaning is the period
between March and April.
2Kg lime is thoroughly mixed with 35 L of
water and then it is poured in the well. The well
water is stirred and then kept unused for 3 to 4
days. After 3 days the well is unloaded. The
well is then filled with fresh water seeping from Fig: Maintenance

3. Project ImplementationMajor activities of this project were as following:
Community mobilization
Committee formation
Training of community worker and caretaker
Site selection
Drawing of water supply network
Installation of dug well and pipe network
Community meeting
Water quality monitoring
3.1 Community mobilizationVarious mobilization and motivational activities such
as courtyard meeting etc were conducted to increase
public awareness. Several meetings were held in
these villages with the community. Local GoB elected
person and influential local people were present in meetings
along with DCH personnel. Community people including
women, the poor and arsenic patients shared their situation
, needs, opinions and preferences Fig: Community mobilization about mitigation options with others.

3.2 Committee formation A committee was formed for the supervision
of each implementation. Each committee was
responsible to maintain the option provided
to them. DCH and the committees worked
together to plan option installation and
maintenance. Committee accepted responsibility to collect community contribution. Committee
decided the charges for water use for each family.
Caretaker collected money from water users. Each Fig: Committee formation family was provided with a water card for payment.
3.3 Training
Local mistiris were selected for construction and maintenance of the options. They were trained on
construction work options by DCH trainers. DCH trainers also trained caretakers and users of options.
3.4 Site selectionSites of option were selected in highly contaminated areas. This was done after consultation with the
community. Preference was given to the patient families and the poor. Sites satisfied guidelines
provided for site selection, as -preparing a DW 30-40 ft away from the latrine and dumping ground
of waste materials - Animals penned away from DW -Installing DW at safe gird distance from cropland
and industrial area etc.
3.5 Drawing of water supply network Drawing of pipeline network and dug
well were prepared. The pipeline
network ended at household level.

3.6 Installation of dug well and pipe networkProcess of the installation was discussed and
Shared with the community. The committee
supervised during the installation period. This
committee was responsible for maintenance. Dug
well sites were selected in environmental friendly
areas and in arsenic affected population. Wells
were protected from outside contamination. Dug
well water was stored in an overhead tank. Water
was supplied 2 or 3 times through pipeline
at the household level. Villagers pay monthly a fee for
maintenance of the system.
3.7 Community meetingMeetings with the community were held in the project areas
with the community. Local GoB elected person and influential
local people were present in meetings along with DCH
personnel. Community people including women, the poor
and arsenic patients exchanged opinions and identified their
needs.
3.8 Monitoring
Project activities were monitored by DCH through
observations, open interview etc. DCH engineer monitored
Implementation activities. Clinical survey of water users
was carried out per month. Arsenic level of dug well water
was tested once in DCH after option installation. Bacterial
count of dug well water was done at three monthly interval
using Delagua field test kit.

implementation period. Each committee decided on a contribution of 20 Tk. per household per month from the
community and the caretakers are collecting this. The money is used for maintenance and electricity charges for
the pump. Each committee has taken responsibility for maintaining the option. The water column in dug wells at
the driest period was 6 to 8 feet. This amount is sufficient to serve the communities. Water parameter Bacteria
test field Kit DELAGUA. Test results were satisfactory.
6. RECOMMENDATIONSDug well water piped to the household level is a readily acceptable community alternative to tube wells
and an implementation programme could be extended to other groundwater contaminated areas.
Community involvement significantly enhances project sustainability through promoting the concept of
community ownership of options. This encourages a positive attitude towards community contribution
for the option. Economic contribution should be equitable. Community involvement also guarantees
equitable community contribution. Water option should be provided free of cost for the hardcore poor.
Some flexibility in project timing is required to take into account any political/institutional instability and
the consequent delays this causes. If possible these projects should be timetabled so that dug well
installation commences in the dry season thus assisting implementation. Patient management is also
an important in mitigation activity and needs to be addressed properly.
