Date: December 17-20, 2019

Venue: Anil Agarwal Environmental Training Institute (AAETI), Nimli (Tijara), Rajasthan

Language of Instruction: English

About the Training
Statistics shows that 80% of water worldwide is released untreated in the environment and this problem is even worse in developing countries such as in India where only 22% of sewage generated is treated. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) in India has realized the fact that sewerage networks alone cannot help achieve or meet increasing treatment capacity and to meet this demand, decentralized wastewater treatment systemscan be considered as a sustainable and effective solutionto achieve citywide sanitation for all.

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) understands its responsibility as a public interest research and advocacy organization and aims to sensitize the various stakeholders working in this sector through its high impact trainings timely. In this endeavor, CSEis organizing a4 daysTraining programmeon ‘Faecal Sludge and Decentralized Wastewater Management’, which aims toeducate government officials who are engaged in facilitating decision-making process in water sector at state and national level, researchers from universities and non-governmental organizations who have the potential to disseminate the knowledge required for scaling up the faecal sludge and decentralized wastewater management (focusing on nature based technologies) in the country.

The training programme is divided into different modules, comprising of Shit Flow Diagram (SFD), Onsite Sanitation Systems, Faecal Sludgeand Decentralized Wastewater Management to meet different needs of the target groups. These theoretical and practical modules include interactive sessions with leading experts, presentation on case studies and visit to successfully implemented treatment systems. The participants will get the opportunity to plan and design onsite systems and decentralized wastewater treatmentsystem as part of ‘Do It Yourself’- group exercise.

The 4 days short term residential training is being organized at CSE’s newly built state-of-art facility, AAETI at Nimli, Rajasthan. AAETI is a learning, training and innovation centre designed to find appropriate and affordable solutions to some of the most pressing environmental problems.

Aim of the training:

To create cadre of practitioners with knowledge, skill and attitude to mainstream urban faecal sludge and decentralized wastewater management.

Learning Objective:

  • Mapping of excreta flow in a region by using standardgraphic generator, a tool developed by SFD PromotionInitiative
  • Providing skills on planning and designing a decentralizedwastewater treatment system (effluent and grey water)
  • Interact with the real implementers to understand theworking of the technologies

Training Methodology
The training style is considerably based on the ‘Harvard Case Method’, which conveys teaching messages through interactive practical work done by trainees. The training will be focused on experiential learning – including individual/group interaction, practical group exercises, interaction with experts, discussions, field visit and documentary films to highlight the best management practices successfully implemented. Furthermore, the training is complimented by sessions and discussions on existing case studies which demonstrate the recommended actions and interventions for sustainable sanitationmanagement.


Field Visit
The training programmewill have dedicated session for field visits to have practical visibility of the best management practices for Decentralized Wastewater Management and Reuse.
