Coordinated by Dr. Chimi Wangmo, Mr. Bhawani S Nirola and Mr. Rigzin Norbu, the WRE students attended a presentation on Nature Based Solutions for Water Management, using the team's GEF funded project "Piloting of a natural system for greywater treatment and development of pond as source of disposal" as a case study.

The session provided students with valuable insights into nature-based wastewater treatment systems, emphasizing the role of constructed wetlands as sustainable and cost-effective solutions for greywater management.

Students learned key engineering concepts related to hydraulic design, watershed analysis, and system sizing, and were introduced to essential software tools used in water resources projects.

In addition, the students were given a UAV demonstration, showcasing how modern surveying technologies can enhance data collection and spatial analysis in engineering design.

The session successfully connected theory with practice, highlighting how innovation and sustainability can be integrated in solving real-world water management challenges.

The faculty members of the Water Resources Engineering Programme hosted an introductory tea session to welcome the third cohort of WRE students.

The session provided a platform for new students to interact with the faculty and their fellow peers. It aimed to foster a sense of community, encourage open dialogue, and ease the transition into the academic environment.

During the session, the Programme Leader highlighted on the vision of the Water Resources Engineering programme. Faculty members also elaborated on the growing relevance of the water sector, emphasizing its critical importance in addressing contemporary challenges such as climate change, sustainable development, disaster risk reduction, etc. The discussions also touched upon Bhutan’s national priorities and the global significance of developing skilled professionals in this field.

Students were encouraged to make the most of the interdisciplinary learning environment and to actively participate in academic and research activities. The session concluded with light refreshments and discussions, marking a positive beginning to the cohort's academic journey.

The Programme is pleased to welcome our third cohort of undergraduate students to the BE in Water Resources Engineering programme at the College of Science and Technology.
