About STTP

Water bodies are an essential part of the ecosystem providing a diversity of values and uses ranging from ecological goods and services to direct production values. They have traditionally served the function of meeting water requirements of the people for drinking, household uses like washing, for agriculture, fishing and also for religious and cultural purposes. Apart from these functions, which involve direct use of the water, lakes are known to recharge ground water, channelize water flow to prevent water logging and flooding. Lakes also host to a wide variety of flora and fauna. They are vital in the hydrological severe conditions like drought and floods; they influence the micro-climate as well as enhance the aesthetic beauty of the landscape and offer various recreational opportunities. The quality of water resources is deteriorating rapidly due to man-made and environmental aspects. There is an urgent need to initiate efforts to restore, conserve, manage and maintain the water bodies as an integral part of the whole ecosystem.

Water treatment and restoration of water bodies are the fundamentals for establishing sustainable water resources. It is imperative that the Students and Faculties in Civil Engineering must develop an understanding of latest trends in these areas and are exposed to current technologies and innovations in this regard. The platform will be a means to promote the development and restoration of water bodies to provide equitable access to water and sanitation for everyone thereby contributing to the progressive realization of the human right to water and sanitation.

The two-week workshop, aims to address this burning issue by bringing forth students, academicians, research scholars and industrialists and conduct brain-storming sessions under a common roof. Thus, the prominent objectives of this workshop are as follows

To have an insight of integrated, comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach on the process of Water treatment and Restoration of water bodies.
To motivate students to develop innovative technologies in the field of wastewater treatment and restoration of water bodies, thereby making some positive contribution towards the betterment of the city, state and the nation at large.
To have an overview of the challenges faced on field by environmental consultancy organizations regarding the same.
To apprehend the participants with the aesthetics of greener wastewater treatment and environmental analytics for construction projects
To provide a platform for discussion between industrial experts and academicians to help connect theoretical concepts and field practices of latest technologies.
To stress upon the major issues pertaining minimizing wastewater and ensuring its more equitable distribution both across and within States through integrated water resources development and management thus to enhance general awareness amongst the youth.
