I saw a statistic just the other day
-
that there was concern in Bangladesh, in particular,
-
that the aquifers that are being
-
tapped into by these water sources are pretty high in
-
--some of them are pretty high in arsenic.
-
So the cleanliness of the water becomes an issue.
-
But for the most part it's considered
-
a good thing when people are given the technology
-
and the resources to drill these kind of wells
-
because then they can generate water to help support their crops.
-
Here, an example of tube wells

on Pakistan on the left and Bangladesh on the right.
