Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present cost-effective solutions, arsenic removal treatment system from arsenic prone groundwater source and ecological surface water treatment system as an alternative source of arsenic free water were developed for rural areas at Jyot Sujan village, Murshidabad District, West Bengal, India. 92-94% turbidity removal is possible from HRF 1 and 2, 99.22% turbidity removal is also possible from SSF1 and 2. And pH and bacteria are reducing from the combined surface water treatment system. A dual treatment method for groundwater comprising of oxidationcoagulation- filtration and adsorption by activated alumina is proven to be more economic having more capacity and superior reliability in terms of water quality prescribed by IS 10500, 2012 as compared to other arsenic removal processes using various other media.

Abstract: Forest affect the hydrology of watersheds in various and complex ways, by increasing evapo-transpiration, increasing infiltration, intercepting cloud moisture, reducing the nutrient load of runoff, and more. Even dry deciduous forests, which receive less rainfall, serve as natural filter and maintain the water budget throughout the year. This study highlights the brief remarks on dry deciduous forest through intervention on water and soil. In this field research study, an attempt is made to assess the quantum of the stream flow and to check the water quality and soil texture with reference to study area related to maintenance of forest hydrology. Results showed that the deciduous forest reduced the magnitude of peak discharge during rainy months and ultimately forest controls excess runoff in the downstream. Thus forests induce infiltration which leads to more uniform flow round the year. The water quality results indicated that the suspended solids as well as coliform and fecal colifo
