6.2. Water Consumption per Person
The university’s water management system tracks various sources and uses of water meticulously to ensure efficient and sustainable practices.
6.2.1 : Measure the total volume of water used in the university
The university utilized a total of 57,833 kilolitres (KL) of treated water. This treated water includes both water from the main supply and water that has undergone desalination processes. The treated water plays a crucial role in meeting the university’s daily water needs, including those for drinking, sanitation, and other essential services.
Extracted Water: In addition to the treated water, the university extracted an equivalent volume of 57,833 KL from Borewells 1 and 2. This water is sourced directly from underground reserves and is used for various campus needs. Borewell water is particularly significant for applications where treated water might not be necessary, such as in some aspects of landscaping and non-potable uses.
6.2.2 Total Water Usage:
When combining the volumes from all sources, the total water usage across the university amounted to 143,434 KL. This total includes both the water extracted from borewells and the water processed through the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). The STP-treated water is repurposed for horticultural activities and flushing systems, demonstrating the university’s commitment to recycling and resource efficiency. The detailed tracking and reporting of water consumption reflect the university’s ongoing efforts to manage its water resources responsibly and sustainably. This approach not only helps in monitoring usage but also in identifying opportunities for conservation and improvement in water management practices. Our Audit partners follow the National Building Code 2016 for all benchmarking.
