    Sustainable Urban Development and Surface Water Design

    03-11-2024 To 07-11-2024
    Dubai
    civil eng and construction

    Urban development faces increasing challenges due to population growth, climate change, and the need for sustainable water management practices. This course focuses on the principles of sustainable urban drainage and surface water design, equipping participants with advanced techniques for planning and implementing systems that manage stormwater, prevent flooding, and enhance environmental sustainability. Participants will explore modern surface water management approaches, such as Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), and how they can be integrated into urban development projects to balance the built environment with natural water processes.
