Why rainwater harvesting?<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Learning Objective<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.
