Applications Invited for Training Program on Integrated Urban Water Management

About the Organization

National Water Academy (formerly known as Central Training Unit) was set up in Central Water Commission by the Ministry of Water Resources, RD and GR, Govt. of India in the year 1988, to impart training to the in-service engineers of various Central/State organizations involved in the Development & Management of Water Resources. It was established under USAID assistance and strengthened with the subsequent assistance received from the World Bank.

About the Program

Indian cities are increasingly facing complex challenges such as water scarcity, groundwater depletion, urban flooding, river pollution, and wastewater mismanagement. These challenges are further intensified by rapid urbanization, climate variability, and fragmented governance systems. Traditionally, urban water systems have been managed in silos despite their strong interlinkages within a basin. Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) provides a holistic framework that integrates technical, environmental, social, economic, and institutional dimensions of urban water systems. It promotes basin-level thinking, recognizing the interconnections between surface water, groundwater, wastewater, and stormwater systems.  

This training program, jointly organized by NWA and NIUA, aims to build capacity of professionals to plan and implement integrated, climate-resilient urban water solutions. The program is organized into 5 modules over 5 days viz., Introduction to IUWM, Urban River Management, Urban Groundwater Management, Circular Water Management and Urban Flood Management

Objectives

• To strengthen institutional and technical capacity in IUWM with a basin-centric approach
• To provide hands-on exposure to tools, strategies, and management instruments
• To enable participants to analyse and address urban water challenges holistically
• To facilitate learning thro
