Can you tell me in detail about the GIAN Course - Urban Stormwater Management- Science, Policy, and Engineering Training for Smart Cities 2017 conducted by IIT Roorkee?

The objective of the GIAN Course - Urban Stormwater Management- Science, Policy, and Engineering Training for Smart Cities 2017 conducted by IIT Roorkee is to expose attendees to different aspects of urban stormwater management (quality and quantity):

1. Introduce and familiarize the attendees to the science and engineering of urban stormwater management, and policy formulation,
2. Introduce the participants to the collection of high frequency hydrologic datasets for stormwater assessments (both quality and quantity), problem identification, and model development,
3. Develop and expose attendees to watershed, sewershed, and flood models to simulate urban hydrologic and water quality conditions using SWMM, and HEC models,
4. Develop and familiarize participants with Urban Low Impact Development Green Infrastructure models to alleviate urban water quality issues suing EPA SUSTAIN and IDEAL,
5. Introduce participants to various processes of watershed calibration and validation during the model building process.
