The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is a public interest research and advocacy organisation based in New Delhi. CSE researches into, lobbies for and communicates the urgency of development that is both sustainable and equitable. The scenario today demands using knowledge to bring about change. In other words, working India’s democracy. This is what we aim to do.The challenge, we see, is two-pronged. On the one hand, millions live within a biomass based subsistence economy, at the margins of survival. The environment is their only natural asset. But a degraded environment means stress on land, water and forest resources for survival. It means increasing destitution and poverty. Here, opportunity to bring about change is enormous.But it will need a commitment to reform – structural reform- in the way we do business with local communities. On the other hand, rapid industrialization is throwing up new problems: growing toxification and a costly disease burden. The answers will be in reinventing the growth model of the Western world for ourselves, so that we can leapfrog technology choices and find new ways of building wealth that will not cost us the earth. Our aim is to raise these concerns, participate in seeking answers and in pushing for answers, transforming these into policy and so practice. We do this through our research and by communicating our understanding through our publications.

Climate change has impacted the world severely. The rising global temperature levels is putting a pressure on the availability of fresh water. Sectors like agriculture, industry,buildings,etc.consume huge quantum of water and the availability of fresh water resources has become a massive challenge.Keeping this in mind there is a need to reduce the fresh water consumption and maximize the use of wastewater.

Understanding the relevance of the subject, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is launching an integratedtraining programme on Water Audit. The training programme will comprise of two parts: Basic learning (online platform) and Advanced learning (at our residential campus). The course is designed to provide an overall understanding of the water audit which includes theoretical knowledge via lectures from experts and first-hand experience through group exercises, discussions, case studies and exposure visit to industries during the onsite training.
