[6.4] Water reuse
[6.4.1] Water Reuse Policy
1. Executive Summary
Water Reuse Policy at PTUK establishes guidelines for collecting, treating, and reusing greywater and treated wastewater for irrigation, flushing, and other non-potable uses. This supports SDG6 by reducing freshwater demand and promoting sustainable water management. Policies are implemented across campus buildings, research labs, and landscaping areas. Students and staff participate in policy development, monitoring, and training programs. Outputs include official policy documents, demonstration projects, and compliance reports. Additional activities include pilot reuse projects and collaborations with local water authorities.
