Why Rainwater Harvesting?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>

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.<\/p>

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.<\/p>

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. \u00a0In 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.<\/p>

Learning Objective<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>

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:<\/p>

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

    \u00a0<\/p>
