Uttaranchal University is deeply committed to the conservation of natural resources, with water management as a key focus area. The campus draws its water from nearby rivers and streams, making responsible usage and sustainable practices a top priority. Recognizing the global challenges posed by inadequate sanitation—where one in three people live without access, leading to preventable diseases and deaths—the university has implemented advanced wastewater treatment systems. These systems not only ensure water is reused efficiently but also support environmental health. By promoting affordable solutions and education in hygiene practices, Uttaranchal University aims to complement global efforts to mitigate water and sanitation crises. These initiatives form part of the institution’s broader environmental responsibility, striving to foster sustainable habits within the campus and contribute to a healthier, cleaner future for the wider community.
Uttaranchal University actively monitors and manages its water consumption across the campus by recording usage on a daily basis. This includes measuring the volume of water consumed, treated, reused, and recycled to evaluate overall efficiency. Water usage for drinking, cleaning, washing, and cooking forms a key part of these assessments.
Our goal is to halt the degradation and shrinkage of water as a valuable resource. To achieve this, we take meticulous precautions to conserve water at every step on campus. We follow a dynamic process to prevent polluted water from entering the campus water system by adopting multiple approaches.
A Biological Sewage Treatment Plant (Bio STP) with a 150 KLD capacity is installed on campus to recycle wastewater.
