The book sheds light on this global environmental issue, and proposes solutions to aquatic contamination through a multi-disciplinary lens and case studies from Bangladesh and India. The book may serve as a reference to environment and sustainability researchers, students and policy makers. Part one of the book describes the issue of arsenic contamination in ground water and river basins, including its source and distribution in specific locations in India. Part two explains the routes of exposure to environmental arsenic, its transport in aquatic ecosystems, and the health risks linked to arsenic exposure in food and the environment. Part three addresses sustainable arsenic contamination mitigation strategies and policies, the socioeconomic, demographic, cultural and psychological aspects of arsenic contamination, and the potential applications of GIS and remote sensing in providing solutions. Part four concludes by discussing the role of local and regional institutions in water resources management for a variety of issues including but not limited to arsenic contamination, and presents a case study in the Indus river basin in Pakistan to propose future contamination mitigation strategies. 410 0$aAdvances in Water Security,$x2523-3572 606 $aWater pollution 606 $aAquatic ecology  606 $aMedical policy 606 $aWaste management 606 $aEnvironmental health 606 $aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35040 606 $aFreshwater & Marine Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19066 606 $aHealth Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27040 606 $aWaste Management/Waste Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U31001 606 $aEnvironmental Health$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U18005 615 0$aWater pollution. 615 0$aAquatic ecology . 615 0$aMedical policy. 615 0$aWaste management. 615 0$aEnvironmental health. 615 14$aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution. 615 24$aFreshwater & Marine Ecology. 615 24$aHealth Policy. 615 24$aWaste Management/Waste Technology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Health. 676 $a333.91 676 $a628.1666 702 $aFares$b Ali$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSingh$b Sushant K$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910366647803321 996 $aArsenic Water Resources Contamination$92255323 997 $aUNINA
