Safe Life

First we should drink water from a source that contains no arsenic. Tube wells need to be tested to separate the safe from the unsafe. Safe tube-wells should be painted green and unsafe ones should be painted red. More tube-wells should be set up which are free from arsenic and bacteria. Surface water in pond and river is free from arsenic and so it can be used after a process o f treatment. Rain water should be collected for drinking in a bacteria free container. 

Safe water supplies are an unavoidable requirement. Simply abandoning requirement. Simply abandoning arsenic contaminated tube wells and reverting to untreated streams or ponds will reduce arsenic related illness at the cost of death and illness form diarrhea disease. There are three options for safe water supplied: (i) treatment of well water before consumption. (ii) sinking wells in arsenic free aquifers and (iii) development of surface water sources with treatment.Water should be boiled to remove arsenic. Healthy balanced diet containing fish and vegetables should be eaten. Food containing vitamins A, C, and E should be taken.
