ESF offers Ecological Sanitation courses in India.bThe Ecosan Training Course addresses Water and Wastewater Engineers, Scientists, Agriculturalists, Environmentalists, Architects, Engineers from Water and Sanitation Departments in Governments, NGOs, Private Companies in the field of sanitation and others interested in innovative sustainable sanitation solutions.
The concept behind ecological sanitation (ecosan) is that sanitation problems could be solved more sustainable and efficiently if the resources contained in excreta and wastewater were recovered and used rather than discharged into the water bodies and the surrounding environment.
It is important to create awareness, educate and share information to bring the required paradigm swing towards ecological sanitation (ecosan), and this is well-achieved through promotional activities - participation in events, lectures, grass-root level participation, etc.
