Bihar Urban Development Investment Program Acknowledgements “Any city however small, is in fact divided into two, one the city of the poor, the other of the rich. These are at war with one another.” Plato (BC 427-BC 347) During the tenure of this assignment, help, co-operation and assistance have been obtained from a large number of individuals, government departments, local bodies, para-statal agencies, social workers, representatives of NGOs and CBOs. They have provided their valuable time and suggestions to members of the PPTA team to assist in this study. It is rather difficult to thank them individually. We express our sincere thanks to all those people collectively. Their support, encouragement and insights into the social, economic, environmental and infrastructure problems of the study area and the sector as a whole have provided an essential input into the proposals in the report. More often than not, these suggestions triggered useful discussions in shaping various projects in project towns of Bhagalpur, Darbhanga, Gaya and Muzzaffarpur for infrastructure improvement. In addition to the obviously critical technical support by the Asian Development Bank, preparation of this Report was made possible through the enthusiastic support and guidance of Shri Girish Shankar, Principal Secretary (up to February 2011) and Shri D K Shukla, Special Secretary of the Urban Development and Housing Department, Government of Bihar and the Mayors, Municipal Commissioners and their enthusiastic staff in the preparation of this PPTA report. At the very pragmatic level, Mr. Hiroyuki Ikemoto, the ADB Urban Development Economist, continues the challenge of supporting the consulting team and their enormous requests. Our thanks are also due to Shri Shashi Shekhar Sharma who guided the completion of this final report upon taking over as Principal Secretary from February 2011. Unknown to them, but the daily observation of all residents, their situations and their needs contributes the most to the exercise, and will be thanked by successfully contributing this project's results to their future.

  • Arsenic Hot Spots Detected in the State of Bihar
    Annual Conference 2007, Royal Geographical Society, London Session key: BSG-session 3 29-31 August, 2007 Paper-5 Arsenic contaminated aquifers: a study of the Ganga levee zones in Bihar, India A.K.Ghosh1. S.K..Singh2, Nupur Bose3, S. Chaudhary4 1 Department of Environment and Water Management, A.N.College, Patna 2 Department of Environment and Water Management, A.N.College, Patna 3 Department of Geography, A.N.College, Patna, India 4 Department of Botany, T.M.Bhagalpur University, Bhgalpur, India ABSTRACT- 'In Bihar Plains, ground water is the most important source of drinking and irrigation water. The purpose of this interdisciplinary study, undertaken along the levee of river Ganga in the Mid Ganga Plain, was to determine the existence and intensity of arsenic contamination in aquifers being tapped for direct and indirect ingestion of the properties of the region’s ground water, in the four districts of Bihar [India], i.e., Patna, Bhojpur, Vaishali and Bhagalpur. The methodology involved formulation of a protocol for arsenic detection in ground water, use of Field Test Kits for initial detection, obtaining GPS coordinates of arsenic hotspots for spatial analysis of the problem, and confirmatory testing of arsenic hot samples by U.V., and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. Water samples of 28000 private and government owned hand pumps were tested. Many arsenic hotspots were detected in all the four districts, the coordinates of which were recorded by GPS. Arsenic contamination up to 1861 ppb. was found in the western district of Bhojpur, against the W.H.O. permissible limit of 10 ppb. The greatest frequency of contaminated hand pumps was noted in the eastern district of Bhagalpur.
