Efficient use of water

Commitment to efficient water use.

Water use measures

  • Waste and energy consumption are reduced by operating pumping systems efficiently.
  • Irrigation systems are periodically checked to detect and correct leaks and obstructions, optimizing the irrigation curtain and considering appropriate weather conditions and schedules.
  • Sprinklers are recalibrated to avoid wasting water in non-landscaped areas, and gardens are redesigned with more adaptable plants.
  • High-efficiency, WaterSense-approved bathroom fixtures are used to save water in campus restrooms, with proper preventive maintenance.
  • Water meters are installed in the distribution network to monitor and correct excessive consumption and leaks.
  • A network of absorption wells is implemented to capture rainwater and reduce flooding problems.

Regarding water in particular

  • A treatment plant is used to irrigate gardens and supply toilets, reducing water consumption in the well by up to 70%.
  • UV filters are used to supply drinking water to the drinking fountains in CD UP.
  • Sustainable solutions for water treatment, clarification, filtration and aeration are developed.
