Arsenic Removal from Drinking Water of Risalpur Cantt

Abstract

Presently water purification management in Pakistan has not been carried out in a sufficient and proper manner in regard of purifying it from all the hazardous components present in it and also not up to the World Health Organization (WHO) set standards; because of which the problem is growing year by year and as a result, people are suffering. This problem had hit the world in general and Pakistan in particular. One of the chief problems is being the presence of arsenic content in the drinking water. This study has been carried out to study the effects of arsenic contaminated drinking water of the Risalpur Cantt and to suggest the probable measures that need to be done. The study will ultimately suggest cost effective and efficient arsenic removal techniques, which can be adopted in order to deal with the arsenic crisis in areas where people are deprived of clean and pure water. It also suggests that people in such areas should be educated about the hazards they face due to arsenic contamination of water.
