The GIS ArcView was used to create a map to identify the magnitude of contamination in terms of area and exposed population for the study area of Chapai Nawabganj. The Geographic Information System with incorporated databases includes themes on physical features, demographics, and arsenic concentrations of sample wells of arsenic affected area of Chapai Nawabganj. The system will assist planners and policy makers to make an assessment about the extent and magnitude of the problem based on estimated exposed population and degree of contamination. In addition, Expert System...
