Water constitutes a worldwide challenge for the 21st century, both in terms of the management of available water resources and the provision of access to drinking water and sanitation for the world’s population. In 2000, the United Nations (UN) recognized that access to water is an essential human right, and in conjunction with national governments, it set ambitious goals (the “Millennium Development Goals”) to increase access to drinking water and wastewater services, including safe disposal or reuse of residues (hereinafter jointly referred to as “water services”).
International conferences on sustainable development and water have highlighted this issue, and UN agencies (including WHO and UNESCO) have developed recommendations and programmes to establish a framework in which to advance.
The objective of this course is to provide delegates with the comprehensive understanding on how to implement the Guidelines for the management of
wastewater utilities and for the assessment of wastewater services, based on BS ISO 24511:2007 to ensure that the system within the organization is structured rather than following individual practices.
Course benefits
