 Bhopal tap water Making the poor people suffer more, Dow Chemical then bought Union Carbide & claimed that they were not responsible for the damages. And the Indian government, not wanting to discourage foreign investment, didn't aggressively pursue the matter. Some 5yrs after the horrible day, a half million dollars was finally paid. But that is far short of the $3 billion needed. While people still suffer from their injuries, new victims happen every day as many of the city's water wells are contaminated with no safe alternatives available.
