Building standards to minimise water use
Shoolini University maintains appropriate building standards to minimise water use. Our rooftops have the facility of rainwater harvesting. The buildings support drainage of rainwater underground after filtration and treatment. This, in turn, helps to increase and maintain the groundwater level.
2023
In 2023, Shoolini University continues its strong commitment to water conservation and sustainability, with an emphasis on reducing water use through innovative building standards. Each campus building is thoughtfully designed to include advanced water recycling systems, rainwater harvesting, and groundwater recharge capabilities, creating a model for responsible water management in regions with limited water availability, like Himachal Pradesh. A comprehensive rainwater harvesting system captures runoff from building rooftops, storing it in strategically placed tanks for reuse in irrigation, the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), and even in campus construction activities. This system reduces reliance on municipal water supplies, supports sustainable agriculture, and minimizes environmental impact by controlling runoff and erosion, vital in the university’s hilly terrain. Furthermore, rainwater is treated using filtration systems before storage to ensure purity, while groundwater recharge systems reduce surface runoff and contribute to regional water stability. Shoolini University also engages the broader community through workshops and seminars, encouraging sustainable practices and rainwater harvesting. By implementing smart technology, such as sensors in storage tanks, and exploring partnerships with tech companies for improved filtration and treatment, the university remains at the forefront of sustainable water management.
