6.4) Water reuse
In the face of problems regarding water resource management brought about by climate change, in addition to planning water conservation and formulating various water-saving measures based on risk adaptation strategies to reduce water consumption, water recycling and reuse are also effective means to cope with the water shortage crisis under climate change. Therefore, rainwater reusing and wastewater recycling are key tasks for the school's water resources management.
For rainwater recycling, we set up water recycling equipment such as rainwater harvesting system and rainwater storage tanks, as well as cooperating with measures such as reducing surface runoff and evapotranspiration to reduce water footprint and achieve the goal of water resource recycling.
In terms of wastewater treatment, the school has invested in relevant research to improve wastewater recycling technology and enhance wastewater treatment efficiency. The results have been fruitful. In addition, starting from 2021, the school has been hiring trucks to carry reclaimed water from the sewage plant for use in campus sprinkler irrigation, building floor cleaning, or toilet flushing purposes, continuously increasing the campus water reuse rate.
