Water Conservation Program Implementation

Description:

            All buildings of the University of Groningen have a separated sewerage system, for waste water and for clean water (rainwater). Rain water is thus collected from the roofs of the buildings and is then discharged into the local ponds and canals around the buildings. The university has also buildings where all the rainwater is collected for toilet flushing and for watering the plants inside the building. At our campus we have a separate sewerage system. We collect rainwater from the roof, parking area etc. and discharge this in the ponds and channels at our campus.

Water Recycling Program Implementation

Description: A water meter is installed to measure the amount of rainwater that has been use. The recycled water also use for garden sprinkler system, aquaponics and used in fish pond.
