The university has applied building standards aimed at minimizing water use. Announcement of Walailak University Subject : Water Reuse Guidelines. Thai version see : https://bit.ly/3G0jyQv Walailak University has a policy to promote reduced water usage and efficient water management within the university for maximum benefit. The university has adopted building standards aimed at minimizing water use, as follows:• FaucetsSelf-closing faucets have been installed instead of swivel faucets, effectively controlling and limiting water usage. Picture : Automatic faucets• Urinal flush valvesThese have been replaced with water-saving models (6 liters), reducing water consumption by…

Water (WR) Water recycling program implementation Walailak University has implemented a water recycling program to promote sustainable water use and achieve > 50% water recycled. In 2025, the university’s daily water consumption for domestic purposes was 960.37 cubic meters, of which 768.29 cubic meters per day (approximately 80% of total water use) entered the wastewater system. Approximately 729.88 cubic meters per day of treated water (reflecting a 5% loss during the treatment process) was reused in the following activities: 1. Watering Plants on Campus: Treated water is used for watering plants and ornamental trees throughout the campus to maintain greenery and reduce the use of new tap water. This activity helps promote a healthy campus ecosystem and supports a pleasant, shaded environment. 2. Aquaculture: Treated water, tested to meet quality…

Water (WR) Water Conservation Program Implementation Figures: The Process of Water Management in the Reservoirs. (Walailak University, Thailand)The Process of Water Management in the ReservoirsWalailak University has established a comprehensive water management system that integrates natural water resource development, flood prevention, efficient distribution, and wastewater recycling. The university relies on three primary reservoirs: Pruk Sachon Reservoir, Mon Tara Reservoir, and Chala Nusorn Reservoir, which serve as essential infrastructure for sustainable water utilization and climate resilience within the campus.1. Reservoir and Natural Water Source Management           The university continually improves natural water sources and develops previously flooded areas into reservoirs to increase its water storage capacity. This approach not only enhances water security but also strengthens the university’s resilience against seasonal water shortages and climate-related risks. Figures: The reservoirs within Walailak University.…

Water (WR) Planning, implementation, monitoring and/or evaluation of all programs related to Water Management through the utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) • PlanningAnalysis of Water Management Needs and Usage Analytics: In this step, WU assess the water management needs by analyzing water usage in various buildings and wastewater management. This involves collecting data on water consumption, including the number of users and types of water used, to determine overall water usage. Reference of data : Division of landscaping and building• Implementation of Equipment and ICT SystemsWU install the necessary equipment and ICT systems, including water level monitoring sensors that track the amount of water in tanks or collected rainwater. These sensors facilitate real-time tracking of water levels and provide alerts when levels exceed certain thresholds, which is particularly…

Water (WR) Water pollution control in campus area Walailak University has policies and guidelines on wastewater treatment from buildings and all places across the campus that are based on legally required standards and requirements to protect the ecosystems, human life, and wildlife around the campus. Besides the guidelines and policies, WU has a manual on wastewater treatment on campus. - Wastewater Treatment Manual - Reference of data : Wastewater Treatment ManualThe university has realized that the staff working on building maintenance must be supported by the university so that the staff can perform preliminary checks and tackle any problems with proper procedures. The procedures for wastewater treatment at WU prevent the wastewater from entering the ecosystems around the campus using standard measures and procedures. Regarding human life, the treatment procedures…
