A central ambition of Saph Pani is to disseminate project results and experiences from field studies to end-users and stakeholders. Among the various activities in Work Package 7 on “Training and Dissemination” specific training courses on natural systems for water treatment in India are developed to transfer knowledge to practitioners. The project findings are also meant to strengthen the science policy interface and point out ways for utilizing and considering project results in policy making and regulation. Saph Pani has been designed in such a way that impacts of the project can be realized even beyond the lifetime of the project. Based on field investigations and case study oriented work beneficial for the local stakeholders, training and dissemination activities will help to spread the project results beyond the project partners and particularly address water authorities, water utilities, technology partners and providers, researchers, students as well as local communities. 1 Saph Pani Deliverable D7.3 2 Training Courses Training will be a key element of dissemination and it should be seen as a tool that can maximize the impact of Saph Pani dissemination efforts. It will guarantee that the developed concepts and technologies are not only widely disseminated but they are also taken up by the target group and thus the scientific achievements can be put into practice. To this end, two-day training workshops are organized at or near the location of the pilot- site cities with the objective to train local municipal and governmental decision makers and managers about concrete actions that will be required to address natural treatment processes using the Saph Pani knowledge pool. The developed training curriculum and the methodologies will jointly form a training program that is considered by the Consortium as a viable product for continuing training and education after the EC-funded period. The trainings planned under the project focus on the physical process description together with case study results. They have been designed to help practitioners understand the physical processes involved in the three distinct treatment systems (i.e. BF, MAR and Constructed Wetlands). Also quality control and the pre- and post-treatment necessary in relation to these systems is covered. It was envisaged that training should be on the level of the practitioners not giving much description on theory; and the specific training courses should be organized in places near to the respective project site to enable participants to understand the concept and to realize practical utilities of such scheme. The trainings conducted, however, had mix participation of practitioners, researchers and students, with coverage of both theoretical and practical aspects. These trainings are also considered to be important vehicles of creating awareness among researchers and students, who would take the knowledge forward both in terms of value addition through research inputs and later adoption in real practice when they enter into professional life. Organization of these training courses is expected to provide the expected impact among the user communities and stakeholders through dissemination and exploitation of project results.

Generally bank filtration is a natural, sustainable and low cost technology. Pathogens and organics can be effectively removed and there is the potential to compensate shock loads. In many cases disinfection is sufficient to ensure a safe drinking water supply. Bank filtration (BF) has been used for many decades in Europe to provide drinking water to communities located by surface water bodies, typically rivers. In India, the further development of BF has the potential to provide drinking water to many towns and cities located on the Indo-Gangetic Plain currently using surface water for their public water supply. A number of Indian cities, with source waters of significantly varying quality, are already using BF. Bank filtrate from a few sites monitored in recent years has shown a significantly higher quality when compared to water abstracted directly from surface water sources. The principle of bank filtration is illustrated in Figure 3. Borehole River Bankfiltrate
