About the course: The Government of India has made sanitation its priority through the launch of Swachh Bharat Mission. SBM-U 2.0 goes beyond eliminating open defecation in cities, to focus on planning sanitation systems at city-level, through integrated wastewater and septage management targeted at recycle and reuse. Further, the recently announced Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT 2.0) lays emphasis on creating a circular economy of water by ensuring treatment and reuse of wastewater and faecal sludge. This Module provides participants a holistic understanding of designing of wastewater and septage management solutions, to address the above mentioned priorities under these national missions. Target audience: The course is curated for decision-makers, technical and planning officials from central, state govts, local governments and officials from other autonomous/parastatal agencies engaged in the urban sanitation sector. Learning Objectives: - Understand priorities under various national urban missions for wastewater and septage management to address aspects of circular economy. - Gain in-depth knowledge about sanitation systems and to understand the concept and principles of citywide inclusive sanitation. - Get hands-on experience in designing wastewater and septage treatment solutions. - To leverage various funding avenues and understand contracting mechanisms at city level. Comprehend the aspects of IWSM, such as O&M and sustainability, occupational safety, public awareness and participation. The course is divided into 2 parts, covering various aspects such as sustainable sanitation, national missions and programmes, technical design, baseline survey and assessment, collection and conveyance systems, wastewater treatment mechanisms, project management and sustainability. The first part is carved up into 5 Sessions, and the second part into 4 Sessions. Once the first part is completed, only then the participant can move to the second part of the Module. To finish the entire course, the participant needs to finish both the Parts.
