Maximisation of Water Reuse

Maximisation of Water Reuse

2023

Our water reuse policy includes a robust system for treating wastewater and repurposing it for specific applications. After treatment through the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), this water is reused primarily for irrigation in the horticulture department and construction projects, contributing significantly to the university’s overall water consumption. Construction sites adhere to this policy following quality evaluations, while wastewater from various labs—including chemistry, biology, and biotechnology—is processed through the Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP), which is connected to the main STP. This treated water is then utilized for designated purposes, effectively reducing the university’s daily freshwater demand as much of it is met through treated water. The ETP currently operates at a capacity of 50 KLD, with mechanisms in place to prevent contamination and allow further treatment when necessary, ensuring that the reuse of treated water meets policy standards.

Shoolini University reuse the water after the treatment (through STP) for some specific purposes such as for irrigation in the horticulture department and the construction work. The treated water is used by our irrigation facility supplies for various purposes. Shoolini also has a policy in our university for the amount of water to be reused after the treatment. The construction sites are following the water reuse policy after the quality evaluation. In addition, wastewater from various labs i.e., chemistry, biology, biotech, etc., is being treated at ETP which is connected to the main sewage treatment plant and then the treated water is reused for the above-mentioned purposes. In the university, the load of different laboratories varies depending upon the functioning of the labs. The recycling and reuse of the water help us reduce the daily water requirements because major requirements are fulfilled from the treated water. The current capacity of ETP is 50 KLD.
