In spite of the anthropogenic pressure, Durgapur supports a high avian diversity. So far, 257 avian species belonging to 59 families were recorded with a citzen science efort during a period of more than fve years (2013–present). Out of these, fve species discussed here, are either not recorded previously or have few records: Hume’s Lark and Graceful Prinia were recorded from riverine habitat; and Lesser Racket-tailed Drongo, White-rumped Shama, and Indian Blue-Robin were recorded from woodland habitat. More extensive exploraton of this region with involvement of citzen scientsts in this study will enrich our knowledge about bird diversity, their migraton and distributon patern in this region.

Study area Geographically, it lies in the transitonal zone between The present study was carried out in Durgapur two ecoregions, Chotanagpur Plateau and Gangetc subdivision (23.480N, 87.32°E) of Paschim Bardhaman Plains. Complementng its unique geographical locaton, District, West Bengal, India and adjoining Damodar Valley this region harbours exceptonal biodiversity, having (Fig. 1).

Soil, in this region, by various researchers, however, most of their studies is red laterite type. About 100 years ago, the total area focused on Damodar Valley (Gauntlet 1971, 1985; was covered by dense Sal Shorea robusta forest, which Chakraborty 2011; Hossain & Aditya 2016). Thus, it was was cleared gradually from the late 1950s to establish felt necessary to undertake a holistc study to get an idea India’s second planned city (Chakrabart 1989). about the avifaunal diversity of the entre city and its outskirts.

Around 24blocks (out of 26) are severely affected by the contamination. This paper tries to investigate the causes, socio economic impacts of arsenic contamination in the Murshidabad. It also tries to find the mitigation measures from this cumulative disaster with special reference to Majhyampur Surface based piped water supply scheme in Beldanga I Block. The study reveals that the Majhyampur Water treatment project make a great impact on Beldanga I Block but it is also true that the people of these area can’t afford this arsenic free water as it is costly. So a sustainable and holistic approach might free these people from this disaster.

Arsenic Contamination In Drinking Water Historically arsenic is known as a poison. It does not often present in its elemental state but is more common in sulfides and sulfosalts such as Arsenopyrite, Orpiment, Realgar, Lollingite and Tennantite.
