 Domestic wastewater treatment and reuse
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.
