6.2.1) Water consumption tracking

As an academic research institution, the water used on campus is mainly tap water supplied and measured by the public water treatment plant. No consumption of water is through extracting from lakes or aquifers. The water consumption is tracked and monitored by the Environmental Protection and Safety and Health Center of the university according to the number provided by the public water treatment plant. Relevant data is posted on the website on a monthly basis.

The three campuses of the university, which are located in Tamsui, downtown Taipei, and the mountain area in Yilan County, are all in areas with abundant rainfall all year round. With the rainy nature of the region as a focus point, our school has been developing methods of collecting and reusing rainwater in recent years. The collected rainwater is then used for plants irrigating within the campus, which can not only reduce the burden of relying on purchased tap water but also take into consideration the responsibility of environmental protection.

In 2021, the total tap water consumption of the school is 438.89 million liters (438,890 cubic meters); rainwater collected for plant sprinkler irrigation is about 4,056 liters (4 cubic meters).
