Water Management

Water Conservation Program

The water conservation program of Bilkent University includes the following activities:

  • The rainwater collected throughout the campus is transferred to the university pond through several channels. The irrigation needs of the campus land can be entirely met by the university pond.
  • The domestic water in some buildings is stored, purified, and returned to the system for reuse.
  • The water in the stream bed on the main campus of the university is used for landscape irrigation in some areas.

Water Pollution Control

Bilkent University pays great attention to water cleanliness to protect the campus environment that is home to diverse types of creatures. Special filtering systems are utilized for the water available in staff and student kitchens and are changed periodically at least once a year.

Water-saving
Devices

Bilkent University has initiated the use of water-saving devices, but their campus-wide use has not yet been fully completed.
