After a gap of nearly four years, the Water Resources Department (WRD) has recruited about 200 assistant engineers to be posted in various parts of the State. The new assistant engineers are being given rundown of the challenges involved in water resources restoration and maintenance.
The engineers are being trained in batches at the Water Resources Staff Training Institute (WRSTI), Saidapet, since Monday. They are also taught urban flood mitigation measures and climate change adaptation to achieve water resilience, WRSTI’s Director C. Podhuppanithilagam said.
A press release said the engineers also visited the soil mechanics and research laboratory in Taramani. They also learned about activities of different wings of the WRD.
