Water is a finite renewable resource, and life on earth as we know it would not be possible without water.  Water Governance refers to the political, social, economic, legislative and administrative systems in place that influence the use and management of water. CBSS has partnered with the Water Institute of South Africa (WISA), to present a three-day Training Course in Water Governance.

This three-day course has been designed to facilitate understanding of the principles of Water Governance from a Human Rights perspective, as well as of concepts such as Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in the broader context of human rights, environmental management legislation and the National Water Resource Strategy (NWRS).  It facilitates understanding of water use authorisation and the circumstances under which a WUL is required, as well as of the process to apply for (and amend) a WUL.

CASI Construction Academy presents a 3 day Reverse Osmosis Desalination workshop with the theme Safeguarding the Sustainability of your Water Resources. The world’s water reserves are becoming more limited. Regulatory compliance requirements and numerous Health & Safety and Environmental (HSE) considerations govern water use for domestic and industrial purposes. Water treatment is often dictated or required by disposal rules as well, which also become increasingly stringent. Meanwhile, water is irreplaceable and priceless. The management of every drop must be carefully and sustainably done.

Drinking water reserves are being depleted faster than their respective replacement and/or regeneration. This is another critical sector that needs careful management and raises once more the need for treatment. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Desalination provides answers to all the above challenges. The Reverse Osmosis Desalination training course covers a variety of RO desalination techniques, including desalinating drinking water, dialysis water, landfill leachates, ultrapure water production for pharmaceuticals, polishing water for cosmetics, and detergents. The workshop addresses the increasing need for stringent disposal rules and emphasizes the irreplaceable value of water.

Participants in this Reverse Osmosis Desalination training course will receive comprehensive training that covers a wide range of topics. To ensure maximum understanding and retention of the information presented, the course will utilize various learning techniques. These techniques include trainer-guided discussions among participants, where personal experiences will be shared to enhance comprehension. Additionally, case studies and group exercises will be provided to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the main, current, and future issues in the field of RO water desalination. By engaging in these activities, participants will gain a well-rounded understanding of the subject matter and be able to apply it in real-world scenarios.

By participating in this workshop, attendees will be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to address specific water challenges using RO Desalination technology. The localized training approach ensures that participants are well-prepared to implement sustainable water management practices and contribute to the conservation of water resources in the region.

Our planets’ water reserves are becoming more and more of a scarce resource. Water use for a series of domestic and industrial applications is governed by regulatory compliance requirements and numerous Health & Safety and Environmental (HSE) considerations. At the same time, disposal rules are also becoming increasingly stringent and pose demanding requirements which often require and dictate water treatment. On the other hand, water is priceless and irreplaceable.

Every single drop needs to be managed carefully and sustainably. Drinking water reserves are being depleted faster than the respective replacement and/or regeneration. This is another critical sector that needs careful management and raises once more the need for treatment.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Desalination provides answers all the above challenges. The areas covered in this Reverse Osmosis Desalination training courses are the use of RO desalination in drinking water production, dialysis water production, landfill leachates treatment, production of ultrapure water in the pharmaceutical industry, polishing of water used in the cosmetics and detergents manufacturing industry, etc.

This course is presented by WISA in collaboration with the WRC.

As South Africa faces challenges with failing bulk sanitation infrastructure exacerbated by climate change, population growth, and outdated sanitation methods, it’s evident that traditional flushing toilets are no longer sufficient. Embracing a non-sewered sanitation approach becomes imperative, offering citizens safely managed sanitation services and fostering climate-resilient technologies. This shift not only enhances public health but also maximizes resource potential through circular sanitation practices.

To expedite the adoption of these technologies, stringent quality assurance measures are essential. Standards like ISO 30500:2018 / SANS:2019 provide clear guidelines for design and testing, facilitating market entry for technology developers and aiding implementers in informed decision-making. Additionally, ISO 31800:2020 addresses faecal sludge management, while ISO 24521:2016 / SANS 24521:2020 offers guidance for the management of on-site domestic wastewater services, crucial for communities at any stage of development.

Despite progress, certain communities, particularly rural areas like those in Limpopo, still suffer from inadequate sanitation. This training targets professionals seeking to enhance their technical skills in non-sewered sanitation and faecal sludge treatment within the South African context. Participants will gain insights into relevant norms and standards, alongside practical experience observing sanitation conditions in communities. Join us in driving the paradigm shift towards sustainable sanitation provision in South Africa.

Registration closes 05 August 2024.

Water-based applications are expanding at an ever-increasing rate and complexity. Starting from simple surface water treatment through to drinking water storage and distribution and complex wastewater treatment techniques, there is an enormous blend of energy input, human intervention and applied technologies.

This combination of activities requires demanding monitoring regimes and intelligent application of mature technologies in order to achieve the desired results. This is where Smart Water Technologies come into play.

This Smart Water Technologies training course will present the different areas/sectors in which Smart Water Technologies (SWT’s) are applied and examine in detail their specific characteristics and potential. Particular reference will be made to the agricultural, and the utilities as well as to the industrial, water treatment and healthcare sectors. It will at the same time address new emerging technologies and how they can be applied in the context of sustainability and cost effectiveness.
