Hands-on laboratory training for working professionals inthe field of faecal sludge management

About the training 

Management of the sanitation system has been a long-term challenge, explicitly for low and middle-income countries like India. Nevertheless, Faecal Sludge Management (FSM) is an evolving field worldwide with continual development and improvement happening in research methodologies.Therefore, skill development for testing the quality of faecal sludge and treated wastewater becomes the primary objective. This course focuses on some of the basic and recent advances in laboratory analysis ofphyisco-chemical and biological parameters of faecal sludge and wastewater. This training is part of the Centre for Science and Environment and Bill Melinda Gates Foundation collaboration on FSM in India. In-house experts and lab scientists from CSE’s Environment Monitoring Laboratory (EML) will guide participants through the sessions and help them learn lab analysis using state-of-the-art equipment and methods. The hands-on approach to the program means that the participants will have the opportunity to enhance their skills by performing lab experiments on their own, using the best equipment and protocols available. The training will be held in CSE’s residential campus in Nimli, near Alwar, Rajasthan.
