Water-Wastage Monitoring & Reduction System
Implementation:
Sensor-based taps: Automatic taps in washrooms and kitchens to avoid water running unnecessarily.
Leak detection: Regular inspection and IoT-based leak sensors on pipelines and tanks.
Smart water meters: Measure and display real-time water usage for each block/hostel to encourage accountability.
Awareness campaigns: Posters, workshops, and competitions to educate students on water conservation.
Rainwater harvesting & recycling: Collect rainwater and reuse treated grey water for gardening or flushing.
Uses:
Prevents unnecessary wastage of fresh water in washrooms, hostels, and canteens.
Encourages responsible water usage among students and staff.
Provides real-time data to management for better planning and maintenance.
Supports sustainability goals and reduces water bills.
Benefits:
Cost-saving: Reduces water bills and maintenance costs for college/hostel.
Sustainability: Contributes to environmental conservation and sustainable development goals.
Awareness: Builds a sense of responsibility and eco-consciousness among students.
Long-term impact: Ensures water availability for future generations.
Conclusion:
Implementing water conservation systems in colleges and hostels not only minimizes wastage but also promotes sustainable practices among students. This initiative saves costs, preserves natural resources, and sets an example for other institutions to follow
