SDG 6 | CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION
[6.4] Water reuse
[6.4.2] Water Reuse Measurement
1. Executive Summary
Water Reuse Measurement at PTUK focuses on monitoring the quantity and quality of treated water reused across campus. This ensures compliance with SDG6 by verifying safe reuse and identifying areas for improvement. Students and technical staff collect data, analyze water flows, and report on efficiency and quality parameters. Outputs include measurement reports, dashboards, research projects, and improvement plans. Additional activities include implementing sensors and real-time monitoring systems for water reuse.

2. Water Reuse Measurement – Activities
|
01. Campus Water Reuse Monitoring
|
|
|
The University is committed to implementing best practices in wastewater treatment and reuse to reduce environmental impact and achieve sustainability in water resource management. This policy includes developing water treatment systems to ensure wastewater quality, prevent pollution, and encourage the reuse of treated water in ways that comply with health and safety standards. Monitoring includes regular testing and publishing of results. Measurement of greywater and treated wastewater reused on campus, together with reports, dashboards, and student learning, ensures safe and efficient reuse. |

02. Sensor Pilot for Water Reuse
|
|
|
In its pursuit of implementing automated systems for water monitoring, a pilot project was carried out. The project included establishing distribution networks to deliver treated water to target areas, and equipping university facilities with dedicated systems for water reuse, such as treated water tanks and specialized distribution networks. It also included the implementation of sensors to track flow and quality in reuse systems. Real-time data, performance reports, and student training improve measurement accuracy. |

03. Conducting a Scientific Seminar on Treated Waste Water Reuse in Palestine
|
|
| The agricultural department carries out intensive research on treated water. This research is sometimes led by the university and at other times carried out through international projects. Research results are presented at the university, and published papers are also presented at the university. | |
