Figure 1| a, Aquifer profiles from Neumann et al. of arsenic and δ18O (Figs 1a and 1g in their paper). Yellow areas denote arsenic-rich water in the aquifer at Bashailbhog. Dark blue area is water identified by Neumann et al. as having δ18O<− 4.75‰ and so is, in their interpretation, derived from ponds. In our interpretation, areas of both shades of blue indicate water that is fiushing the aquifer of arsenic. Inset shows model outputs of Neumann et al. predicting the proportion of predevelopment water with depth (their Fig. 1e), overlain by the distribution of arsenic in yellow. b, Cross-plots of DOC, dissolved calcium, chloride and arsenic in the Munshiganj aquifer at Bejgaon, 800 m northwest of Bashailbhog (data from ref. 7; similar data are not available for Bashailbhog) for depths to 30 mbgl—the depth of penetration of water that is isotopically light—and so, according to Neumann et al., derives from ponds. We do not plot deeper waters from beneath the zone of fiushing as they are of different derivation and age. The linear trends show mixing between a mineralized groundwater around 30 mbgl and less-mineralized shallower recharge. c, Aquifer profiles of arsenic and δ18O in the aquifer at Bejgaon; data for arsenic from ref. 7; data for δ18O from ref. 8, includes samples 30 (2), 30 (3) and 61 (2).
