Abstract
Globally, intrusion of toxic heavy metals into groundwater ecosystems has been a topic of serious concern for sustaining public health. Extracting contaminated subsurface waters for consumption as drinking water intake has led to catastrophic debilitations in populations, particularly those in rural areas of developing countries lacking robust municipal water-supply infrastructures Within this subject matter, mysterious and rampant geochemical release of arsenic in the subsurface waters of India (as depicted in Figure Arsenic (As) is a notorious carcinogen and its chronic intake causes incurable health problems
