Second Announcement
Two-day
CEP Course on
Urban Drainage Management:
State-of-the-Art
September 29 30, 2003
Introduction
Already in its twelfth edition, over 400 officers and engineers from 50 organizations in India and abroad have so far benefited from this course in the last 3 years. The course has undergone continuous revisions, helped to a large extent by the feedback given by the participants and the various organizations and now addresses current water and wastewater drainage problems in urban areas of India.
Background
It is now well known that each year during the monsoons, heavy rainfall occurrences cause severe flooding in urban areas resulting in severe disruption to the urban infrastructure. Also, the urban drains are increasingly being used for wasetwater/sewage disposal and the overflows result in epidemics. Thus, there is an urgent need to implement state-of-the-art technologies to minimize the damage by making the drainage and treatment systems more efficient. Moreover, rainwater harvesting during the monsoon season offers a viable alternative to the present urban water crisis.
Course Objectives
The aim of the course would be to familiarize the
participants with the state-of-the-art technologies in urban water and
wastewater drainage management. This
year's course has been updated to include formulation of drainage master plans,
removal of sediments from drains, urban lake management and rainwater
harvesting with actual case studies from various cities in India and
abroad. At the end of the course the participants
would be in a position to identify and select appropriate strategies for their
local conditions and implement measures for better water management to reduce
the flooding and damage. This course would also provide an excellent
opportunity for the participants to interact with one another and discuss
problems and solutions of mutual interest.
Course Content
1.
Design considerations with respect to Storm drains/ Sewers and Computer models for
urban drainage modelling and management.
2.
Best

7.
Formulation of
City Drainage Master Plans.
Who may benefit
Officers and Engineers working in city municipalities, city development authorities, government transport organizations, consulting companies, research organizations as well as self-employed practitioners engaged in the analysis, design, planning, construction, operation and maintenance of urban drainage works would benefit from the proposed program.
