Introduction

This IACT course component supports priority rehabilitation and Flood Prevention and drainage management infrastructure identified as a priority .

 The course focus on development of an integrated flood management system and interventions to enhance the economic value and aesthetic qualities of the water bodies will also be supported.

 Today, flood management in many countries is being practised from a Risk Management point of view. To serve the water professional community and to introduce them to thinking in terms of risk instead of only thinking in physical infrastructure

Objectives 

Participants attending the training seminar will:

Þ Describe issues of current drainage  management practices showing the fragmented development of planning and action.

Þ Explain the integrated drainage management principle which connects basin institutional arrangement and drainage management.

Þ Describe the integration of urban water management components within a city.

Þ Explain the types and causes of flooding.

Þ Understand Flood Hazards and how to apply and interpret a Flood Hazard Map.

Þ Understand the probability of flooding and the many uncertainties inherent with it.

Þ Explain the concept of Recurrence Interval and Return Period.

Þ Understand concepts of Vulnerability & Risk Mapping.

Þ Understand the concept of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS);

Þ Explain the role and importance of effective institutions and stakeholders.

Þ Understand why community engagement is important and how to apply community-based measures to increase resilience.

Þ Explain financing flood risk management measures.

Who Should Attend?

Ü Engineers 

Ü Those who may become responsible for the design or operation of sewage stations including those inher-ited as part of the PDAS regulations.

Course Methodology

The course uses self-assessments and a wide mix of business cases that promote healthy discussions around the importance of managing multiple tasks, deadlines and priorities. Participants will benefit from role plays covering workplace challenges related to handling tasks, deadlines and priorities. They will learn how to deal with conflicts that may arise as a result. Interactive team exercises are also used with each team presenting their findings and comments.  

Each module covers different aspects of using Game-Based Learning and Gamification in education. Coursework will incorporate

your existing knowledge and experience and provide helpful learning environment with a good mix of theoretical and practical knowledge. On all outlines will apply Skills for Game-Based Learning and Gamification and practiced in hands-on, collaborative way within an international group setting.

This interactive training course includes the following training methodologies as a percentage of the total tuition hours:

• 30% Lectures, Concepts, Role Play
• 30% Workshops & Work Presentations, Techniques
• 20% Based on Case Studies & Practical Exercises
• 20% Videos, Software & General Discussions
