What backs it

Researchers at IIT Guwahati have developed a rotating-anode electrocoagulation reactor that removes up to 98.2% of arsenate and 91.8% of fluoride from contaminated groundwater within minutes, with an estimated operating cost of just Rs 18 to Rs 58 per 1,000 litres of treated water.

Worth noting

This is laboratory-demonstrated technology; real-world deployment at scale and long-term performance in field conditions remain to be tested.
