International training and exposure visit on Rainwater Harvesting System
2022-12-11 - 2022-12-14 | ITN Seminar Room, ARI-ITN Building (5th Floor), BUET Dhaka-1000., Dhaka 1000 Bangladesh, Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh
Why Rainwater Harvesting?
Rainwater 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.
Many 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.
Practitioners, 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.
Learning Objective
The 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:

Urban water challenges and importance of rainwater harvesting.
Planning and designing of rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge system
Water safety plan and LEED certification
Principles of rainwater harvesting and its components
Simplified cost-benefit analysis of rainwater harvesting
Practical rainwater harvesting focusing on water retain, reuse, and recharge

Fellowships available
We 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.

Laboratory Training on Fecal Sludge & Wastewater Parameter Analysis
2022-07-02 09:00 - 2022-07-05 17:00 | ITN Seminar Room, ARI-ITN Building (5th Floor), BUET Dhaka-1000., Dhaka 1000 Bangladesh, Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh
About the Training
This is a nomination only training.In Bangladesh, a number of initiatives have been taken for implementing Fecal Sludge Management (FSM) with treatment facilities. Assessing the characteristics of Fecal Sludge (FS) are essential for design technologies, and monitoring the output quality of treatment system is important for environmental compliance. The analysis of fecal sludge is new to the country’s water and wastewater laboratories. In this regard, ITN-BUET, with the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation project, has established a reference laboratory at Department of Civil Engineering, BUET to conduct the surveillance and monitoring of FSTPs, validate new innovative technologies and to render capacity-building services to other laboratories in the country through training events. ITN-BUET, in collaboration with Department of Civil Engineering, BUET will organize a hands laboratory training on fecal sludge & wastewater parameter analysis.

Learning Objective
By this training participants will

Get an overview on FSM, FS and its analyzing parameters.
Know health and safety guidelines for handling FS samples.
Learn and practice testing of analyzing parameters for fecal sludge and wastewater.

Training Outlines

FSM, FS and FSTPs
Sampling of FS, wastewater for analysis
On-site measurement parameters
Solid content parameters
Organic content parameters
Nutrient content parameters
QC/QA and laboratory safety

Participants’ Profile
Researchers/Scientists/ Instructor/Managers or Technicians in the University, Research Institutes, Govt., and Pvt. water/wastewater testing laboratory.

Training Modality
This is a hands-on training program blended with theory and practice. Eminent experts and experienced lab scientists from BUET will facilitate the course and guide participants using state-of-the-art reference laboratory equipment for analysis.

International online training on Rainwater Harvesting System
2021-11-02 19:00 - 2021-11-22 21:00
Why rainwater harvesting?
Rainwater 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.
Practitioners, 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.
Many 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.
Learning Objective
The 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:

Urban and industrial water challenges and importance of rainwater harvesting.
Principles of rainwater harvesting and its components.
Planning, designing, construction, maintenance and monitoring of rainwater harvesting systems and Groundwater recharge structures.
Simplified cost-benefit analysis approach for rainwater harvesting.
Water safety plan and LEED certification for rainwater harvesting system.
Rainwater harvesting focusing on water re-use in industrial settings

Date and location
The training will be held from 2-to-22 November 2021 and organised online (24-hour course).
Fees and funding
BDT 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.
Who can apply?
Engineers, architects, environmentalists, industrialists, urban planners, academicians, policymakers, and development practitioners.
Educational requirement
Applicants are required to have a bachelor’s degree or diploma as a minimum criteria.

Production and contextualization of digital materials
Eawag, the Swiss water research institute and an internationally networked institution organized a four-days long workshop on “production and contextualization of digital materials” at ITN-BUET from 21-24 July 2019 to introduce the process of contextualization for ConCaD-training materials. During the workshop, participants materialized the idea of contextualization and digitization of training materials with special focus on FSM and inclusive sanitation, hands on experience of photography and videography, and building promotional materials for offering training for future capacity building programs on FSM.

Contextualize the content suitable for Bangladeshi practitioner
This workshop is a follow up event of a ToT organized in July this year with support from Eawag/ConCaD where experts and professionals in the sector received training on FSM/CWIS. One of the major feedbacks of the ToT was to contextualize the core content of the ToT suitable for Bangladeshi practitioner.
