RWESCK summer school centers around Blue-Circular economy for feasible networks
Blue-roundabout economy takes a gander at the waste that emerges from finished results and how they can be utilized to forestall contamination in the climate.
A zero-squander idea targets fortifying limits in water, disinfection and cleanliness in the worldwide north and south.
The Regional Water and Environmental Sanitation Center Kumasi (RWESCK) ALL4WASH summer school is a venture upheld by the Norwegian government under the worldwide collaboration programs led by KNUST.
It is under the topic: "Opening the chances of Blue-Circular Economy for supportable networks representing things to come."
It united understudies from Norway in the worldwide north with understudies from Mali, South Africa, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania and Ghana in the worldwide south to concoct answers for natural issues.
Prof. Esi Awuah of the branch of structural designing encouraged item engineers to create items that can be reused.
She asked the Environmental Protection Agency to emerge with arrangements to direct item fabricating.
"I feel that each item designer should have support to support. How would you begin?
"How would you end and how would you return with the goal that we don't squander assets.
"And afterward strategies ought to be set up especially the EPA that guides us on our undertakings so that assuming you will have a venture you ought to check out at the idea of blue economy.
"What will occur assuming I get done with the development of the item? Assuming that you are creating plastic jugs, how would you gather it back instead of leaving it reserved to turn into somebody's cerebral pain," she said.
Prof. Awuah talked on the significance of 'standing quality banks' in the urban communities.
"Eco frameworks are self-supporting and self-administrative networks of living things so when you plan a city you leave a few regions as remaining as quality banks.
For instance, Accra has a standing quality bank in Achimota timberland; it likewise has the Ramsar site.
"What's more, they are vital on the grounds that they go about as carbon sinks to support the city," she said.
Overseer of RWESCK, Prof. Sampson Oduro-Kwarteng said that squander assets can be gone back over to lessen creation cost and lift organizations.
"Squander is an asset that can be redirected into various purposes to limit cost of creation and to advance organizations," he said.
Prof. Razak Seidu of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology accepts that the new age of ecological architects ought to be prepared to handle arising worldwide issues.
"All the more significantly we need to prepare another age of water and climate engineers who have a profound comprehension of the information economy inside the water and disinfection area to have the option to attempt to address these difficulties we are faced with," he said.
