This course offers real time learning with a direct interaction with eminent IHE professors all over the world related to water & waste water sectors. Dot, SPPU, Pune along with Unity Knowledge have identified and selected the industry partners who will provide the opportunity to intern and may absorb on live projects for Training & Capacity Building.

In sum, this course is a combination of design, technologies and field-work and students who have done B.Tech. /BE. (Civil Engineering / Environmental Engineering / Mechanical Engineering) have joined this course.

With the rising challenges in the water sector across the globe, it is necessary to provide local responses to this challenge for the same reason availability of global knowledge; locally is essential. Keeping this thought in mind, Savitribai Phule Pune University has joined hands with IHE Delft, The Netherland, Institute for Water Education, and Unity Knowledge LLP to start Masters level course dedicated to the sector of Urban Water and Sanitation.

The course is conducted under Department of Environmental Science, S. P.
