About the Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems and Nature-Based Solutions Course
Rapid urbanization and climate change have increased the frequency of urban flooding, water pollution, and drainage system overload.
This course explores Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) and Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) as integrated, low-impact strategies that manage stormwater while enhancing biodiversity, urban cooling, and livability.
Program Highlights
• Comprehensive coverage of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems and Nature from fundamentals to advanced applications
• Hands-on projects and real-world case studies in urban water management
• Expert-curated curriculum aligned with current industry standards
• Access to recorded lectures and e-LMS platform for flexible, self-paced learning
• e-Certification and e-Marksheet upon successful completion
• Dedicated mentor support and interactive doubt-clearing sessions
• Practical experience with tools: EPA SWMM, MicroDrainage, InfoWorks, GIS
• Career-oriented training for academic and professional growth in urban water management
