SUMMARY:International online training on Rainwater Harvesting System
DESCRIPTION:Why rainwater harvesting? \nRainwater harvesting provides a cost-effective and practical solution to reduce water crisis in both rural and urban contexts. In urban areas\, at a household level\, rainwater can be used for flushing toilets\, watering gardens\, washing floors\, and other non-potable purposes\, thereby reducing dependency on existing water supply sources such as groundwater. By managing rainwater\, the pressure on urban drainage systems could be reduced\, and urban water-logging could be avoided. It can provide an alternate water source to industries and business needs\, as well. \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. \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. In this regard\, International Training Network Centre\, BUET (ITN-BUET) and WaterAid Bangladesh are organising the International Online Training on Rainwater Harvesting System. \nLearning Objective \nThe participants will get the opportunity to learn from the experiences of technical experts\, academicians and professionals from Bangladesh and abroad who have experience in implementing the program. The participants shall have exposure to and a better understanding of: \n\nUrban and industrial water challenges and importance of rainwater harvesting.\nPrinciples of rainwater harvesting and its components.\nPlanning\, designing\, construction\, maintenance and monitoring of rainwater harvesting systems and Groundwater recharge structures.\nSimplified cost-benefit analysis approach for rainwater harvesting.\nWater safety plan and LEED certification for rainwater harvesting system.\nRainwater harvesting focusing on water re-use in industrial settings\n\nDate and location \nThe training will be held from 2-to-22 November 2021 and organised online (24-hour course). \nFees and funding \nBDT 10\,000/- for Bangladeshi citizens\, and US $120 for international participants. Limited funded fellowships are available for this programme. The training fee is inclusive of a training participation fee of BDT 3\,000/- or US $35 USD\, which is compulsory to pay by the selected participants irrespective of partial or full waiver. \nWho can apply? \nEngineers\, architects\, environmentalists\, industrialists\, urban planners\, academicians\, policymakers\, and development practitioners. \nEducational requirement \nApplicants are required to have a bachelor’s degree or diploma as a minimum criteria. \nApplication deadline25 October 2021 \nFunded fellowships available \nWe are offering full or partial funded fellowships for the ‘International Training and Exposure Visit on Rainwater Harvesting System’ to a limited number of deserving candidates with a strong application narrative. Those who are funded by UN agencies and other international agencies are not eligible for the fellowship. Please opt for appropriate option during your application to be considered for the fellowship. \nHow to apply? \nClick here and complete the registration form \nFor further information please contact: \nMd.
