Certificate Course: “ Waste Management”
This course provides an overview of the key concepts and principles of WM. The quantum of solid waste generation has considerably increased and the characteristics of wastes have also significantly changed over the years, with the unplanned growth of population, increased urbanization and developmental activities which are seriously degrading the urban and semi-urban environment in many parts of the world, placing enormous strain on natural resources and undermining efficient and sustainable development. Daily thousands of tonnes municipal solid waste is simply being dumped on open lands and these existing sites are overflowing with new wastes and identification of new sites for disposal of wastes are becoming scarce. Therefore, there is a need is to raise awareness on the use of appropriate technologies for efficient management of solid waste. Against this backdrop, the course will discuss the basic concepts of solid waste and their classifications based on sources and types followed by the aspects of environmentally sound management practices and the current scenario of solid waste in India.
