University event offered by University of Huddersfield
Short Session Delivered at your school/college
During the 1970s there was a drive to improve health and economic opportunities in Bangladesh/West Bengal through improved access to water. A programme of well construction was undertaken which initially proved successful. However, after a period of years reports of ill-health started to emerge. Investigations indicated that many of the wells were contaminated with arsenic. This talk outlines the investigation and after aftermath which is still an on-going issue in Bangladesh. This addresses social inequalities, access to resources and development issues.
The Discover Programme consists of subject-specific lectures and workshops aimed at Year 12 or Year 1 college students, delivered by academics that teach at the University.
These sessions are designed to both complement the curriculum and introduce new subject areas.
