The Consortium for DEWATS™ Dissemination (CDD) Society is pleased to announce an Online training on “Design and Implementation of Decentralised Wastewater Treatment Systems (DEWATS™) from 14 to 25 September 2020.
 
This program is specifically designed to impart the knowledge and skills required for planning, designing, implementing, and managing DEWATS™. The intended participants are Engineers, Urban planners, Architects, WASH Practitioners, and Infrastructure professionals. 
 
Over the years, we have conducted 31 face-to-face DEWATS™ training, which have been very well received.  The same training has been adapted for online delivery using methods and tools that facilitate participants’ engagement. The online training comprises 10 sessions spread over 10 consecutive working days.
 
By the end of this training, participants will be able to;
 
-      Establish the need for wastewater treatment and reuse
-      Classify wastewater and its characteristics
-      List the advantages of DEWATS over other wastewater treatment approaches
-      Describe the concept and principles of DEWATS and the functions of each module
-      Identify the parameters for DEWATS modules design and gain skills on design calculations
-      Assess the feasibility of DEWATS from social, technological, financial and institutional perspectives by following a standard p  procedure for conducting the study
-      Acquire the skill of developing design (dimensions) of treatment modules considering environmental and civil requirements
-      Identify the DEWATS construction steps, norms and crucial stages of construction supervision
-      Define the key steps and activities involved in the operation and maintenance of a DEWATS plant
-      Understand the role of DEWATS project monitoring and performance (wastewater) monitoring
-      Understand the applicability of DEWATS in different sectors
