Learner's schedule: Indian's wastewater, challenges and solutions

In this course we focus on the main challenges for India’s wastewater treatment. We bring an overview of the most important pollutants and the technologies piloted by Pavirtra Ganga.

We also have a look at contaminants of emerging concern, the specific climate and hydrological conditions, the economic framework and the policy and regulatory framework in India.

The course material is based on the presentations and keynotes given at Pavitra Ganga's final conference (24th January 2024).
