We compared As concentrations in groundwater with the type of surface soils inferred from shallow geophysical method. The comparison revealed a link between dissolved arsenic and near surface sediment type reflecting the surface permeability- dissolved As tend to be lower underlying sandy soils and higher capped by clayey soils. The association between dissolved As and near surface sediment suggests that the spatial distribution of dissolved As in shallow aquifers is controlled by surface recharge. The relationship provides a useful tool for locating areas with a low probability of arsenic contaminated groundwater that offers a hope of reducing the exposure to arsenic. Sulfur induced sequestration of As: Aside from reductive dissolution of iron oxyhydroxides, the desorption of arsenic following reduction from arsenate to arsenite is often invoked as the other leading cause of high arsenic levels in groundwater of Bangladesh. However, my study suggests that reduction of arsenic accompanied by sulfate reduction play a crucial role in retaining arsenic in sediments. Detailed groundwater monitoring of shallow wells (6-9 m) and X-ray absorption of Zahid Aziz p. 1 of 6
2 sediments at the same depths pointed out that reducing conditions will promote the sequestration of As in sediment possibly as realgar (AsS) or orpiment (As 2 S 3 ) when abundant sulfur is present. These findings challenge the prevailing view that arsenic levels are relatively low in shallow aquifers of Bangladesh due to insufficient reductive dissolution of iron hydroxides. Sulfide trapping may also have contributed to the broad relationship between the permeability of surface soils and the As content of shallow aquifers. Impact of irrigation pumping: Impact of irrigation pumping on the spatial distribution of arsenic is discussed by several researchers and is the subject of active debate among the researchers. Monitoring of nests of very shallow (6-9 m deep) multilevel wells in two contrasting areas of Araihazar, Bangladesh (heavy irrigation vs little/no irrigation) indicates that the irrigation pumping intensifies the recharge process and decreases arsenic concentrations in shallow aquifers by flushing and/or supplying sulfate into shallow aquifers. Hydrologic control on the distribution of As: The distribution of dissolved arsenic in shallow aquifers of Bangladesh can be heterogeneous down to the 10 2 m scale laterally and 10 0 m vertically. We examined by using a 3-D groundwater flow and transport model to what extent this variability can be explained by the cumulative effect of groundwater flow and sorptive exchange of As. The site selected for this study encompasses an area of 0.35 km 2 and is bounded by an impermeable clay layer and a stream over 80% of its perimeter. The model demonstrated that desorption, adsorption and flushing appear to control the evolution of As concentrations on a yr timescale in shallow aquifers. The model predicted a variable flushing rate of As controlled by the subsurface distribution of hydraulic conductivity and the recharge and discharge. The model also predicted a faster decrease in As concentrations by rapid flushing reducing people s exposure to arsenic. Fecal contamination in groundwater: Simultaneous monitoring of pathogen (total coliform and E. coli) concentrations in groundwater, river and pond suggested that the seasonal recharge from local surface water bodies causes microbial contamination in shallow aquifers. Aside from this study, I have investigated the performance of SONO As-removal system approved by the government and deployed by UNICEF in Shahrasti, Bangladesh where As levels are particularly high. The survey showed that the two third of SONO systems failed. Water analysis shows that the phosphate and dissolved organic carbon levels in groundwater of Shahrasti are particularly high and might be contributing to the filter failures.
