💨 Abstract

Bihar faces severe groundwater contamination, with 30,207 rural wards exposed to unsafe drinking water containing arsenic, fluoride, and iron. The state government aims to make rural Bihar 'hand pump-free' and provide safe drinking water under the 'Har Ghar Nal ka Jal' scheme. The government is also implementing multi-village schemes and using river water for drinking purposes to address the issue.
