Sustainable Water Use through River Water Utilization for Irrigation at UNNES

As part of its ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, UNNES implements a responsible water management strategy that prioritizes efficiency and conservation. One key initiative is the use of river water for campus garden irrigation during the dry season. The water is sourced from a river located approximately one kilometer from the main campus, providing a sustainable alternative to treated or potable water.
By utilizing this nearby natural water source, UNNES minimizes the consumption of clean water for non-essential purposes such as landscape maintenance and cleaning. This practice not only conserves valuable water resources but also supports the university’s broader efforts to reduce environmental impact.
Through this initiative, UNNES exemplifies how higher education institutions can implement practical and ecologically responsible solutions in daily operations, reinforcing its identity as a Conservation University committed to sustainable and efficient water resource management.
