6.5) Water in the community

In terms of community water use, TKU meets the detailed SDG indicators from 6.5.1 to 6.5.5, which are mainly divided into two aspects: water-saving actions on campus and water-saving cooperation outside the campus.

1. Water-saving actions on campus: In addition to the continuous update of water-saving equipment such as the use of water-saving labels on the equipment side, the more important thing is the education and promotion of water conservation on the user side. Experience the changes in the marine environment and human culture from a personal visit to the Maritime Museum on the Tamsui campus. The changes in human culture, to the warm reminder of the A6 posters in front of each urinal or toilet seat, as well as the campus multimedia including the Cyber Channel and TKU Times’s insatiable temptation, are here to cultivate faculty and staff to cherish water resources from multiple ways of education in life.

2. Water-saving cooperation outside the campus: out of campus, student associations take advantage of the opportunity of winter and summer vacation service teams to visit the countryside elementary and middle schools to educate future students; through the implementation of the plan, teaching faculties combine the power of the public sector or enterprises to guide the community and people to care for the water resources in the township as part of the university's support for the sustainable use of water resources. In addition, from the past Water Resources Research Center to the current Information Center for Water Environment, Center for Ocean and Underwater Technology Research, and other institutions, TKU continues to cooperate with government water resources related ministries, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the Water Resources Agency, or the regional river bureaus. Other units maintain close cooperation to support water management practices with academic research energy and provide opportunities for faculties and students of relevant departments to develop their strengths.
