The program began with the first dugwell in 2001. In total 35 dugwells were constructed in different villages in the Deganga Block of the district of North 24 Parganas in West Bengal, India. (The map is available on the website). The areas where most of the wells have been constructed are severely affected and 75% of the tubewells are contaminated with arsenic. Prior to construction of the dugwells meetings are organized with the villagers to discuss the method of maintenance of the dugwells and the benefits of drinking arsenic safe water. In 2006 training and public education are the main objectives of the program to increase the number of users of the primitive method of obtaining arsenic safe water.

Blue Planet Run funded 10 dug wells in 2005. Project Well helped organize the trip for the movie "Water: A Clear Solution" in 2004.
