Key Initiatives for Measuring and Managing Water Reuse
-
Installation of Advanced Water Recycling Systems
- Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs): STPs at JSSAHER treat wastewater to a high standard, allowing its reuse for non-potable applications, such as irrigation of landscaped areas and cooling systems.
- Greywater Recycling Systems: Wastewater from showers, sinks, and laundry is treated and reused for activities like toilet flushing and gardening, reducing reliance on freshwater.
- The STPs process wastewater generated on campus and track the volume of treated water reused for irrigation and landscaping.
- Greywater systems are equipped with monitoring devices to measure reuse efficiency.
-
Advanced Monitoring and Evaluation Systems
- Real-time monitoring technologies track the volume and quality of recycled water, ensuring compliance with health and safety standards.
- These systems provide data-driven insights for continuous improvement.
- Real-time dashboards show water recycling statistics, helping the university optimize its water reuse strategies.
-
Greywater Reuse Integration
- Treated greywater is systematically utilized for irrigating gardens and other green spaces, conserving water resources while beautifying the campus.
-
Desalinated Water Usage
- In areas where applicable, desalinated water is stored and utilized for activities like gardening and preparing sports grounds.
- Desalinated water is recorded and used for irrigation on sports fields, demonstrating efficient water management.
-
Educational and Awareness Programs
- Workshops, seminars, and campaigns educate the campus community about the importance of water reuse and conservation.
- Water reuse initiatives are shared with students, faculty, and staff to foster a culture of sustainability.

Collaborations and Partnerships
- JSSAHER collaborates with government agencies, NGOs, and industry experts to enhance water reuse efforts.
- Partnerships help the institution benchmark its practices against global standards and improve its systems.
Collaborations and partnerships with external organizations in water management
-
Continuous Monitoring and Feedback
- The university regularly audits its water reuse programs, measuring the volume of reused water and evaluating its impact.
- Reports are generated and shared with stakeholders to maintain transparency.
- Annual reviews document the total amount of water treated and reused, showing incremental progress toward sustainability targets.
