Published Progress – SDG6 (Clean Water & Sanitation) [17.3.6]
Public reporting on university progress and performance related to SDG6 (Clean Water and Sanitation).
The “Published Progress – SDG6” at PTUK focuses on documenting initiatives that ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. The university implements applied research, community projects, and educational programs addressing water conservation, wastewater treatment, pollution prevention, and sustainable water use in agriculture, industry, and households. PTUK also develops innovative technologies, monitors water quality, and promotes water-smart practices on campus and in surrounding communities.
Publishing progress under this focus area contributes to SDG17 by fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration, knowledge exchange, and replication of successful water management strategies. PTUK shares research outcomes, case studies, and technical reports with government agencies, NGOs, international organizations, and partner universities, enabling evidence-based interventions and policy development. Documenting these efforts strengthens networks that enhance capacity-building, resource mobilization, and cross-sector cooperation for sustainable water management.
Through this focus area, PTUK integrates applied research with community outreach and education, demonstrating the impact of universities in advancing global water sustainability goals. Publicly sharing progress ensures transparency, encourages adoption of best practices, and strengthens the university’s partnerships at local, regional, and international levels. By linking research, education, and practical implementation, PTUK contributes to both the achievement of SDG6 and the broader objectives of SDG17.
