TRAINING PROGRAMME ON URBAN AND INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT

-

The fast growing economy, rapid industrial­isation and growing urban population in India along with increasing wastewater generation are reasons for concern and reiterate the need for appropriat­e water management practices. Centre for Science and Environmen­t recognises this need and has developed a five-day hands on training programme aimed at giving practical exposure to participan­ts on wastewater treatment for industrial and urban wastewater management including reuse and recycle. The objective of this programme is to build capacity and create awareness among regulators, developers, consultant­s, NGOs, students and academics to understand wastewater treatment process, technologi­es and affordable treatment options. The programme further aims at evaluating the performanc­e and design parameters along with the applicable cost implicatio­n associated with each treatment system.
