Sustainable water extraction

As water is a scarce resource, we reuse water through Sewage Treatment Plants in the campus. JGU carries out ground water extraction via bore wells. 100% of the water consumed in campus activities is being reused through the treatment of wastewater. 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.

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