This website has been developed as part of DelPHE project on "Capacity Building of Urban Water Demand Management" and is aimed at disseminating project activities.
This is 3 year project jointly funded by DFID and British Council. The over all aim of the project is "To develop a research base on aspects related to urban water demand management and enhancing capacity at institutional and national level through structured knowledge transfer and provision of pilot scale demonstration site for selected WDM (Water Demand Management) options" This aim will be achieved through following objects:
-
Mehran University of Engineering & Technology (MUET) Jamshoro, Sindh, Pakistan.
MUET is a prime institution of engineering and technology education in Pakistan. MUET through the Sustainable Development Research Cell (SDRC) is providing space and facilities to house a greywater recycling system based on GROW Technology and develop research support to investigate the engineering and design aspects and facilitate system performance investigation. also MUET will organise an international conference on WDM in 2010.

Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam (SAUTJ), Sindh, Pakistan.
SAUTJ is collaborating on developing the capacity for treatment and reuse of treated greywater for agriculture through Reed Bed Technology. The university will arrange a workshop on the use of greywater in treated and untreated form for agriculture; Specially in water scarcity periods. The research base for the investigation of residual effect of the continuous use of greywater (treated with green technologies (e.g. reedbeds) on soil and crops will also be invesigation.
