Abstract: Abstract What is the source of the arsenic in the groundwater? This fundamental question has been debated by researchers for long. There have been contrasting schools of theories, from geological to man-made, explaining the presence of arsenic in groundwater. In this chapter, through review of literature and interviews with various domain experts, we sum up these diverse theories explaining the cause of arsenic contamination of groundwater.
