Online Training on Water Sensitive Urban Design & Planning - Approach, Challenges & Potential
Dates: August 03 - 20, 2022
Last Date to Apply: August 01, 2022
Training Duration: 16 hours(self-paced - 8 hours and virtual sessions - 8 hours)
Learning Platforms: Moodle and Zoom
Training Type: Online
Background
Cities are confronted with significantly changing conditions due to rapid urbanization and inadequate infrastructure increasing water demand–supply gap, loss of impervious surfaces and overexploitation of aquifers and broken water cycle. These concerns are further aggravated due to increasing incidences of flooding that is attributed to increasing built environment as well as impact of climate change. All this impacts river health / flows.It is important to take up the challenge in controlling and judiciously using natural resources to reduce our ecological footprint. This can be done by using water-sensitive urban design and planning (WSUDP) approach which integrates the urban water cycle, water supply, wastewater, stormwater and groundwater management. This approach contributes to sustainability and liveability, particularly when considered part of an overall urban strategy. It involves intervention at different scales – city, ward/neighbourhood or individual buildings.
This online training is a part of series of activities envisaged under 3-year duration CSE programme – ‘Capacity building initiative focusing on ‘Making Ganga basin cities water sensitive’. Under this initiative series of – webinars, workshops trainings (both online and residential), field exposure visits, knowledge conclaves aimed at engaging 1,300+ number state / municipal functionaries and other sector players.The programme is supported by National Mission Clean Ganga and is part of the series of ongoing efforts by NMCG aimed to ensuring convergence of NamamiGange Mission with national flagship urban missions (AMRUT, Smart Cities, Swachh Bharat Mission, HRIDAY, NULM) and other missions (Atal Bhujal Yojana, Jal Jeewan Mission, Jal Shakti Mission) at state /city level across Ganga basin states.
