Description:
Advanced Center for Water Resources Development and Management (ACWADAM) is a not-for-profit organization working in earth sciences applications, particularly in groundwater resources management. It consists of a team of professionals from the field of earth sciences. ACWADAM’s main thrust has been on the process of capacity building and facilitation, both founded strongly on its research base. ACWADAM, with support from the FORD FOUNDATION, has embarked on strengthening Civil Society capabilities in groundwater management, using the watershed management platform. As a part of this endeavour, ACWADAM has begun running a fifteen-day training programme on basic hydrogeology or groundwater science, for professionals from Civil Society Organisations or NGOs. The training is not intended to be a ‘stand alone exercise’ in capacity building, but will be followed by ACWADAM providing facilitation to promising trainee organizations in their respective field areas.
Training fee: The training is being supported by FORD FOUNDATION and ACWADAM. A nominal fee of Rs. 190/- per day will be charged to every participant. The fee will be charged for 16 days. This amounts to Rs. 3040/- per participant. Participants or organizations who wish to confirm their admission to this course are requested to contact ACWADAM by email on acwadam@vsnl.net to obtain details of making the payment.
