Introduction / Background : Access to safe water is one of the important determinants and accordingly different Arsenic free water options were constructed at the community level under DPHE-UNICEF Action Research Community Based Arsenic Mitigation Project. Damurhuda is one of the Upazilas out of 19 Upazilas under this project. GOB-UNICEF Arsenic Mitigation project also has been implemented for this upazila for the last 3 years.
