Water Conservation Program & Implementation | Suranaree University of Technology
1. Water Conservation Program Implementation
The University has a policy on Saving Measures (Phase 2) B.E. 2566 (https://drive.google.com/file/d/ 1McJ5MB3DM0OneeYQTIsA3rZtZYbn1pJA/view). The use of electricity, vehicles, and fuel so that all types of resources and energy that are limited are used economically. Cost-effective, appropriate and most beneficial to the university.
The university has five reservoirs to collect rainwater for the production of water supply with a total capacity of about 1.85 million cubic meters. An underground water tank is installed to accommodate rainwater for the building's use. Artifician wells have been dug to use groundwater instead of tap water, as many as 4 wells have been dug to collect groundwater. 20,000 cubic meters/year Reduce water consumption by 1.5 percent of tap water consumption.
The university has implemented an artesian well drilling project in the Suranaree University of Technology Hospital area at a depth of 200 meters to increase the amount of groundwater used to improve water quality, as well as to enable the groundwater production system to produce water continuously. It is expected to increase the production and distribution of groundwater by 2 times from the previous one.

Pumping Plant
The university has implemented an artesian well drilling project in the Suranaree During the dry season every year, the university procures raw water sources from outside the university. In order to have enough water supply for the supply within the university and reserve it for use by pumping raw water from the Huay Ban Yang Basin (100,000 cubic meters). Raw water pumping will be carried out in September. As of December, there is a remaining amount of raw water as of August 31, 2024 ) 1,100,000 cubic meters). This is 59.46 percent of the reservoir capacity in the university (1,850,000 cubic meters).

In addition, measures to save water supply are implemented, including the installation of water meters to analyze water consumption to analyze the water consumption of each building. 1,690 points, accounting for 100 percent of all water supply users, are surveyed on a monthly basis to reduce water loss. There is a repair notification system (Line: SUT.SOS) if someone sees a broken water supply system. Leaks or defects can be notified to the relevant parties to take action quickly. The campaign for water conservation measures was publicized through the university's public relations media to raise awareness among water users within the university. continuously.
