Abstract

In Bangladesh there are many disasters, such as floods, droughts, and hurricanes; moreover in recent years, arsenic contaminated drinking water has become one of their major problems. Long term effects of drinking arsenic contaminated water include illness, possible cancer, and in the worst case, death. Because of the economic problem in Bangladesh, the effective prevention of arsenic contamination can not be conducted. From our previous study which includes the survey and analysis, the burden of carrying drinking water is one of the most serious issues for local people. In this study, based on the recognition from the previous study, the social investigation in a village is carried out again, and the models related their burdens of carrying water are suggested.
