City water and waste management: Alternative paradigms
New Delhi,
The explosive, haphazard, and thirsty growth of urban India generates tonnes of mostly untreated waste in its wake. A problem compounded by poor management, inefficiencies and inequities.
The course includes hands-on sessions on designing localised wastewater treatment systems, interactive seminars, detailed case studies, and field trips that help explore alternatives -- from the current capital, water and material-intensive processes of urban water management to a more cost effective, non-sewarage paradigm.

The programme will also recognise the impact of urbanisation and urban development programmes on rivers. Most importantly, it will give an insight into the ‘political economy’ of water and sewage.
