6.5.2) Promoting conscious water usage
Actively promote conscious water usage on campus, and in the wider community

    Tankang University promotes conscious water use through channels such as Tamkang Times (the school newspaper), OA official document system, electronic signage, cyber channels, restroom advertising and other channels.

    Outside the campus, student associations frequently visit communities and school campuses to promote the effective use of water resources through channels such as posters, drama performances, and community activities. Relevant acts include:
    ◆USR project; Good Life in Tamsui: Faculty members from the Department of Economics led volunteer students to rural areas in Cambodia and collaborated with local educational NGOs to conduct a community water hygiene workshop. The workshop taught residents how to use available materials to create simple water filters and demonstrated the differences in water quality between filtered and unfiltered water.
    ◆Ministry of Education “Taiwan Sustainable Campus Project”: In 2022, our university’s "Tamkang Green Feng Shui" initiative successfully passed the Ministry of Education's Taiwan Sustainable Campus Project again and secured an 80% subsidy of the total budget, amounting to NT$ 120,000.
    ◆Students from the Department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering at our university received awards at the Ministry of Environment's Competition: Students from the Department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering, under the guidance and leadership of Assistant Professor Sheng-Wei Wang from the department, participated in the "Rise Up Youth" Competition organized by the Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Fund Management Board of Ministry of Environment. Their work, titled "Groundwater Conservation for You and Me," was awarded the "Excellent Work" in the Marketing and Promotion category for colleges and universities.
    ◆Water Quality Testing Technology Course: The faculty members of the Department of Chemistry organized a workshop on water quality testing for the Gongsitian River Patrol Team to provide training on water quality testing, data interpretation, and collection methods, aiming to raise local awareness regarding water quality and the environment.
    ◆Basic Water Filter Production: The faculty members of the Department of Economics led student volunteers to rural areas in Cambodia and collaborated with local educational NGOs to conduct community workshops on water quality and hygiene, teaching residents how to make simple water filters using readily available materials and demonstrate the difference in water quality between filtered and unfiltered water.
