Water reuse measurement

Water reused in the campus is measured via flow metres.

We have a policy to maximise water reuse across the university. Our design and operations teams are committed to planning and organising their activities in the most efficient and sustainable manner feasible. 

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.

STP treated water is used for curing purposes, water sprinkling and truck tyre washing during construction activities. Treated sewage is also utilised within the premises for gardening, sprinkling, floor washing, dust suppression, truck washing, etc. 

No water is discharged outside the university after use, which means that 100% of the water consumed is being reused.
