Though water is a limited resource, it is often used in an un-sustainable way: different stakeholders (water suppliers, industry, agriculture, households, sewage management etc.) fulfill their water needs generally without taking into account the impact on other stakeholders. This lack of coordination leads to an overuse and waste of water resources.

Proper treatment and reuse of wastewater is worldwide rather an exception than a norm – despite the urgent need for water and nutrients in agriculture, and the contamination of aquatic ecosystems. Single sector approaches such as wastewater treatment or river basin management are limited in their actions. To save and recycle water, regain resources and to protect aquatic ecosystems, the whole water cycle needs to be taken into account in an integrated, holistic way. Sustainable Sanitation and Water Management (SSWM) represents a new and holistic way of dealing with water challenges of our century focusing on the human influence on the water cycle, the linkages to agriculture, and a sustainable use, treatment and reuse of water resources: it brings together reuse-oriented sanitation approaches with IWRM.

Is it necessary to do training considering this integrated approach , if yes, then why?

It is very true Sree that we need to think on integrated approach of Water and Sanitation considering the management and utilisation of resources. In my opinion resources are also the human, financial, and nutrients which are helpful for agriculture. This concept need to disseminate to the society so capacity building is of at most important.
