Project Well is a non-profit organization registered in California, USA. The project involves providing arsenic safe drinking water to the arsenic afflicted villages of West Bengal, India. 

It is matter of years to extend pipeline water in the remote areas of West Bengal . Arsenic safe water is being provided by constructing inexpensive, easily adaptable,
improved dug wells. Disinfectant is used to control the growth of bacteria.

With the help of the local NGO, Aqua Welfare Society, at the village level, sustainable programs are being developed. The dugwells are managed by the local people by forming beneficiary committees. Maintenance include disinfecting the water, sending the water sample periodically to check bacterial count and arsenic concentration, and collection of minimum contribution from the user community for the maintenance of their own dugwell.
