PROPOSAL
Sustainable water resources
management and climate change adaptation are increasingly becoming highly
recognized global issues. Due to its multiple benefits and the problems created
by its excesses, deficit, and quality deterioration, the conservation and
management of water resources requires special attention on the management of
environment of the water resources system. During the last couple of decades,
fast industrial growth has led to rapid urbanization resulting in multifold
increase for demand of water, whereas
remarkable change in climate has occurred. The rising pressure on water
resources has resulted in altered watersheds and changes in the course of river
systems. These alterations have greatly affected the flow in system of water
resources which have contributed to rising issues on sustainability. Rapid
urbanization, change in climate, changes in watershed condition and course of
rivers demand better strategies for management of this precious resource for
sustained industrial growth so that water necessary for industrial as well as
agricultural use can be made available for a secured future.
Jadavpur Centre for Study of Earth
Science is going to organize a national conference on Water Resource Management
for Industries to investigate the role of industry
in the exploitation, management and treatment of water resources. Conference will focus on sustainable
water policies, accounting and conservation of water and energy, and the
development and application of appropriate water treatment and reuse
technology. Corporate sustainability initiatives that result in measurable
reductions in water use will be discussed as well as case studies and
"lessons learned" related to use of municipal effluent in place of
potable water and the internal reuse of industrial water supplies.
The
Conference provides a platform for professionals involved in water resources
management to exchange knowledge and gain an insight in to the state of the art
in the current technology, techniques and solutions in sustainable water
management as they have been developed and applied in different countries.
Participants include a wide variety of stakeholders from research and academia,
like industrial sectors as well as government organisations.
It is expected that the conference will be held in early November
2015 at Kolkata.
2 day conference to be
held in a Hotel in Kolkata
