CSE workshops: City water & wastewater treatment (Oct. & Jan.)
The Course
Workshop on ‘City water and waste management: Alternative paradigms’,
conducted by the Center for Science and Environment (CSE), New Delhi.
The workshops will be held in New Delhi on the following dates: October
16-19, 2007 and January 14-17, 2007.
About the course
Cities in India are set to grow, but at what cost? Exploding demands for
water, tones of untreated waste. How do we even begin to compute these
costs, assess the water- waste balance for our thirsty urban growth?
Clearly, cities can do more with less – by cutting down on
inefficiencies and distribution losses, all signs of poor management.
But equally important are issues of resource equity – the massive gap in
water supplies within the city. The challenge is therefore as much about
justice as it is about technology.
We also need to address the enormous challenge of water pollution caused
primarily by human waste. We urgently need to switch from the current
paradigm of capital, water and material intensive processes of waste
management to a more cost effective, non-sewerage paradigm of human
waste disposal.
This is what our unique four-day workshop is going to teach you. Through
hands-on workshops, interactive seminars, detailed case studies, field
trips, and classroom instruction, the workshop explores current
water-waste, pollution management practices and policies and its
drawbacks, suggests an alternative paradigm more suited to the Indian
situation, and teaches participants to design and implement localised
wastewater treatment systems.
