Arsenic Safe Drinking Water for Assam
Principal Investigator
Prof. T Pradeep
Objective
- To provide arsenic-safe drinking water by integrating AMRIT technology into existing piped-water supplies in Dergaon, Assam.
Description
- The project proposes the deployment of AMRIT (Arsenic and Metal Removal through Indian Technology), developed by IIT Madras, as an inline adsorption system for arsenic removal. The final system configuration and site-specific cost estimates will be prepared following site surveys, waterquality assessments and hydraulic validation, in consultation with PHED/JJM Assam. The proposed intervention will cover the identified villages in Dergaon—Torani Borkachari, Bokolai, Khatowal, Torani, Hatiyekhowa, Rajanakhat (Moutgaon) and Kolai Gaon—as well as selected locations across three additional villages in Dergaon district.
