Water reuse policy

7 sewage treatment plants have been installed to treat wastewater.

The water released after use in hostel washrooms, kitchens and residential areas becomes grey water or waste water. This wastewater is then fed to the sewage treatment plants to undergo various physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove contaminants and
produce treated wastewater that is safe enough for horticulture and irrigation purposes.

The STP treated water is used in cooling towers, supplied to use in horticulture and irrigation and in flushing activities. Wastewater post treatment is reutilized in all these activities which otherwise will call for freshwater utilisation, hence it conserves a large amount of freshwater.

Hot water recirculation pumps prevent the draining of cold water during winters as hot water lines are regularly under circulation mode and hot water is always available to use.

STP treated water is used for curing purposes, water sprinkling and truck tyre washing during construction activities.

Rainwater harvesting pits have been developed on campus to harvest rainwater and recharge the groundwater reservoir table.
