Institute of Technology Gopeshwar Organized this workshop on 16/Nov/2017, by joining

hands with IIT-Roorkee and the financially supported by “Water for Welfare: An Uttarakhand

Initiative”. This workshop targets the youth and the local in the vicinity of the institute. As our

institute is surrounded by numerous water sources and hence it’s our duty to motivate our

students and the locals to work in this direction positively.

Inauguration of the workshop was done by Padma Shri. Dr. Anil Prakash Joshi and

Prof. Dr. KKS MER (Director of Institute). Dr. Joshi delivered his view on water conservation

and need of rain water harvesting, he underlined the global scenario of drinkable water and it

became more prominent in recent years. He emphasized on the channelization of water sources

so that this channelized water can be used in a proper manner. Whereas, Dr. Shailendra Kumar

highlights the points on sanitation, he describe different sanitation treatments along with the need

of good sanitation habits. Moreover, Mr. Manish (Assistant Professor, Department of Civil

Engineering) delivered a lecture on Rain water Harvesting and its techniques, whereas Mr.

Himanshu Jhinkwan (Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering) discussed a

case study on “Rain Water harvesting in urban and rural areas”.

Furthermore, Satyam Joshi, Santosh Bhardwaj and Shubham Nautiyal (4th Year

Civil Engineering Student) give their presentations on Water Resources, Waste Water

Treatment Techniques and Rain water Harvesting respectively. The Institute also organized

science exhibition in workshop by school students where students from different schools are

participated along with their models. Three out of all, are selected and rewarded.

It’s an informative experience for us and for the visitors we have and we are assured our

efforts in this direction in coming years.

Acknowledgement

We would like to convey our thanks to “Water for Welfare” and IIT-R as due to combine efforts

from these sides motivate us for successful completion of this workshop.
