The new policy provides a comprehensive framework for managing water resources within the university to ensure adequate, efficient, and sustainable water use for academic and non-academic activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rector Prof. S. Martono stated that the regulation replaces the previous 2022 guideline to adapt to current environmental and institutional developments. The policy aims to guarantee long-term water availability and support UNNES\u2019s vision as a \u201cConservation University.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the regulation (pp. 3\u20134), UNNES manages four key water sources \u2014 rainwater, surface water, groundwater, and wastewater \u2014 using principles of sustainability and eco-efficiency. The guidelines mandate every unit on campus to maintain at least <strong>40% green open space<\/strong>, optimize rainwater harvesting facilities, increase the number of infiltration wells and biopores, and reuse treated wastewater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As detailed in the annex (pp. 6\u20139), UNNES has established integrated <strong>infrastructure systems<\/strong>, including ground tanks, automatic watering systems, sprinkler installations, wastewater recycling facilities, and biopore networks. The campus has also implemented metering systems to monitor water consumption and ensure efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The policy highlights that wastewater containing hazardous materials must be treated at wastewater treatment plants (IPAL) before disposal. Drainage systems for rainwater and non-hazardous wastewater are designed to utilize the campus\u2019s natural topography for gravity-based flow toward retention ponds (embung).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this regulation, UNNES strengthens its leadership as a green and sustainable university, integrating scientific innovation and environmental stewardship. The university\u2019s proactive approach to water conservation supports Indonesia\u2019s commitment to achieving <strong>SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation)<\/strong> and sustainable campus management nationwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) has reinforced its dedication to environmental sustainability by enacting Rector\u2019s Regulation No. 109 of 2024 on Water Conservation Management Guidelines.
