DOI: 10.1007/s12517-018-4101-6
Abstract: Numerical modeling of groundwater flow and particle tracking have been applied to assess whether deep pumping in a part of western Bengal Basin will transport arsenic (As) from the shallow paleo-channel (SPC) Holocene aquifer to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12665-016-6323-9
Abstract: In this paper, we have analysed active and passive earth observation data for identifying the different geomorphic sub-provinces associated with coastal and fluvial geomorphic processes in the south-western part of Bengal Basin. For this purpose,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.134369
Abstract: The presence of arsenic in the groundwater of the densely-populated Bengal Basin evolved as a mass-poisoning agent and is a reason for the misery of millions of people living here. High-level arsenic was detected in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl084767
Abstract: Elevated arsenic in Bengal Basin aquifers threatens human health. Most deep (>150 m) groundwater in Pleistocene aquifers is low in arsenic; however higher concentrations have been reported in the southwest border region. Here, we establish… read more here.
