Please allow an observation, and question, regarding water supply in Bangladesh, in general. My understanding has been that drinking water in Dhaka, for example, comes from the aquifer, and that this tends to be arsenic contaminated. Consequently, people get arsenic poisoning. As a result of this situation, I wonder at an alternative possibility that river water (from the Brahmaputra?) could be treated for pathogen reduction. We here, may be able to provide for this on a community by community, point-of-use basis.
