The Nashipur Waters

Water pollution is a very big problem in India. In most areas water is contaminated with arsenic, but in Nashipur, a little village in West Bengal, the problem is caused by high levels of fluoride in the water sourced from wells built by the local government over 30 years ago. The people of the village are affected by fluorosis, a disease that paralyses bones.

For 20 years the women of the Narmada Valley have been struggling against the interests of the government and big corporations. In that time they have become more and more conscious of the dimensions of the problem and have taken on the lead role in fighting against these forces in this unequal battle.
