Domestic wastewater treatment and reuse for engineers, architects, builders |
New Delhi, March 10-14, 2009
Cities in India are growing, but in a haphazard manner. The demand for water has exploded, while tonnes of waste is generated everyday and is left untreated. How do we even begin to compute these costs, and assess the water-waste balance for our thirsty urban growth?
Clearly, cities can do more with less -- by cutting down on inefficiencies and distribution losses, all signs of poor management.
But equally important are issues of resource equity -- the massive gap in water supplies within the city. The challenge is therefore as much about justice as it is about technology.
We also need to address the enormous challenge of water pollution caused primarily by human waste. There is an urgent need to switch from the current paradigm of capital, water and material intensive processes of waste management to a more cost effective, non-sewerage paradigm of human waste disposal.

ABOUT THE COURSE
Through hands-on workshops, interactive seminars, detailed case studies, film shows, field trips, and classroom instructions, the programme will explore the current water-waste situation, pollution management practices and policies and their drawbacks
It will also suggest an alternative paradigm suited to the Indian situation. Hands-on design workshops will teach participants how to design and implement localised wastewater treatment systems in a variety of situations and localities. Field visits will allow participants to view innovative decentralised wastewater systems implemented across the city.
You will have the unique chance to meet and interact with experts and professional in
the field of decentralised wastewater treatment
