This course examines integrated approaches to sustainable water and solid waste management under conditions of increasing climate variability, urbanisation, and environmental stress and gain practical experience in analysing real-world water and waste management challenges and designing context-specific, climate-resilient solutions under diverse climate and socio-environmental scenarios. Students will engage with the interlinkages between water systems, waste streams, public health, and ecosystems, with a strong focus on challenges and solutions in the Indian context. The course introduces policy frameworks, governance structures, and regulatory instruments alongside technological and nature-based solutions for water conservation, wastewater treatment, waste reduction, recycling, and safe disposal. Community-based approaches, decentralised systems, and circular economy principles form a central theme, highlighting how water and waste management can contribute to climate adaptation and resource efficiency.
