Sustainable Urban Water Management: Rainwater Harvesting and Decentralised Wastewater Treatment

The increase in urbanisation has led to increase in the fresh water demand along with wastewater generation. The current water crisis is attributed to mismanagement of water resources and emphasis on the energy as well as resource intensive centralised urban water management. Need is, for the practitioners and user communities, to implement sustainable and affordable decentralised water management practices. This short term five day course will focus on – designing rainwater harvesting (RWH) and decentralised wastewater treatment (DWWT) systems including local reuse. Registration to this popular course is on first come first basis. For Alumni list of our previous courses (click highlighted) – RWH and DWWT

“On one way the resources are limited, on the other demand is increasing, so everyone of us has to be sensitized about this situation. In my area, despite that there are tremendous water resources the need of the hour is to switch to methods like rainwater harvesting so that the existing resource overexploitation is stopped. This training programme got all of us awared.”
