In this short course training different methods of retaining and recharging water from roads, making use of on-going investment in roads development and rehabilitation to secure local water resources is explained deeply. It argues to take a multi-functional look at roads: whilst roads deliver transport and communication services, at the same time they can contribute to water security, flood control and erosion mitigation.
