520			_a"Bangladesh has both too much water and not enough of it. On the one hand, this poor and densely packed nation--130 million people in an area the size of New York state--is laced with the great Ganges and Jamuna rivers and countless lesser streams. Rainfall totals about 80 inches a year. The country is largely flat, and immense tracts of floodplain become lakes during the monsoon season. Water is nothing if not abundant. Finding water that is safe to drink is another story, however. It has long been a constant challenge for millions, especially the isolated rural poor. Now, drinking water is the villain in what CBS television once called 'the greatest poisoning in human history.' " (WORLD WATCH) This article provides a disturbing account of widespread arsenic poisoning occurring in Bangladesh, citing highly contaminated drinking-water as the reason for this epidemic.
