Factsheet: The Electrochemical Arsenic Remediation (ECAR) Technology

Arsenic in groundwater threatens the lives and health of more than 200 million people worldwide. In India, a sustainable and effective technology called electrochemical arsenic remediation (ECAR) holds promise to improve the lives of up to 100 million people by making arsenic-free, safe drinking water accessible and affordable. Operational since April 2016, the ECAR demonstration site in Dhapdhapi, West Bengal, offers a blueprint for meeting an essential community need through a profitable business venture.
