Abstract (Original Language): 
In West Bengal during 1980-2001, the arsenic problem spreaded out in 2005 villages of 75 blocks in 8 districts near about 10% population. The problem of the ground water pollution by arsenic is found in the inter fluvial region of Murshidabad and Hooghly district. The source of arsenic in ground water is tested out by establishing the relation between the river system and the area from where the river carried sediments. In this regard Urological Survey of India and Central Ground Water Board have studied and came out with a number of findings. Extensive study about the condition of reservoir, mode of recharge-discharge and their relationship, ground water movement, process of oxidation, potentiality of ground water is necessary to find out the cause of such arsenic concentration in ground water.
