| 6.3 By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally | 6.3.1 Proportion of wastewater safely treated | |
| 6.4 By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity | 6.4.1 Change in water-use efficiency over time | |
Water supply at SWU (Ongkharak Campus) is abundant. There are a number of large lakes and interconnecting waterways throughout the campus. The several large lakes and interconnecting waterways throughout the campus serve as both repositories for conserving water runoff and also as a source from which the vast swathes of vegetation across campus can be watered.
The use of water efficient appliances
Replacement campaign of old appliances with more water efficient appliances is currently ongoing. So far in 2018, 1,590 of the 5,007 water appliances (taps and flushes) found across SWU’s Ongkharak Campus are classed as efficient. This equates to 31.76% In addition, we also use a low-cost technique by replacing a water bottle inside the water tank of the flush toilets across the campus to decrease water usage.
