SUMMARY:International training and exposure visit on Rainwater Harvesting System
DESCRIPTION:Why Rainwater Harvesting?\nRainwater harvesting system (RWHS) provides a cost-effective and practical nature-based solution to address the emerging water crisis due to climate change and rapid population growth in urban context. Bangladesh National Water Policy 1999 recognises rainwater as the third source of water. In urban areas\, rainwater can be used for flushing toilets\, watering gardens\, washing cars and floors\, and other non-potable purposes\, thereby reducing dependency on existing water supply sources. At the same time\, rainwater harvesting can reduce the pressure on urban drainage system and avoid urban water-logging. Moreover\, with the increasing industrial water demand\, it can be an alternate water source. To meet international buyers’ compliance requirements and maintain factory standards\, RMG factories are encouraged to install RWHS in their premises\, and the water can be used for industrial production and groundwater recharge. \nMany initiatives and programmes have recently been promoting rainwater harvesting systems in urban and industrial buildings. Incorporating rainwater management as a separate chapter in the Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) 2020 emphasises its significance. \nPractitioners\, planners\, academicians\, industrialists\, students\, researchers\, and policymakers working on water and environmental issues need to be sensitised and capacitated on rainwater harvesting systems to tackle the water crisis and ensure future water security.  In this regard\, International Training Network Centre\, BUET (ITN-BUET) in collaboration with WaterAid Bangladesh and International Water Association (IWA) Bangladesh are organising the international training and exposure visit 2022 on urban rainwater harvesting system. \nLearning Objective\nThe participants will get the opportunity to learn from national and international technical experts\, academicians and professionals who have experience in implementing RWHS. The participants shall have exposure to and a better understanding of: \n\nUrban water challenges and importance of rainwater harvesting.\nPlanning and designing of rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge system\nWater safety plan and LEED certification\nPrinciples of rainwater harvesting and its components\nSimplified cost-benefit analysis of rainwater harvesting\nPractical rainwater harvesting focusing on water retain\, reuse\, and recharge\n\n  \nFellowships available\nWe are offering partial and full fellowships for this international training and exposure visit 2022 on urban rainwater harvesting system to a limited number of deserving candidates. Those who are funded by UN agencies or other international agencies will not be eligible for this fellowship. \n*Female and young professionals are encouraged to apply \nApplication deadline\n26 November 2022 \nDate and location\n11-14 December 2022 at International Training Network Centre\, BUET (ITN-BUET) \nFees and funding\nBDT 18\,000/- for Bangladeshi citizens\, and US $150 for international participants. A limited number of fellowships are available for this training programme. The training fee is inclusive of a training participation fee of BDT 3\,000 or 25 USD\, which is compulsory to be paid by the selected participants irrespective of partial or full fellowship. \nWho can apply?\nEngineers\, architects\, environmentalists\, industrialists\, urban planners\, academicians\, policymakers and development practitioners from relevant field. \n* Female and young professionals are encouraged to apply. \nEducational requirement\nApplicants are required to have a bachelor’s degree or diploma as a minimum criterion. \nView/ Download the FlyerApply here \nFor further information\, please contact:\nMr Rakib Uddin Ahmed\nSenior Information & Documentation Officer\nITN-BUET\nCell: +88016 720 730 70\nEmail: rakib@itn-buet.org\nOr\nMs Samia Anwar Rafa\nYoung Professional-Technical\nWaterAid Bangladesh\nEmail: samiarafa@wateraid.org
