Water management is an important factor for the university. Kasetsart University has many campaigns on projects or activities of energy conservation, water management in the workplace, the operation of underground water storage ponds, wastewater treatment, recycling water, the use of energy saving equipment; these campaigns are meant to promote and support both students, personnel in the organization to have the attitude of conserving energy as well as participating in the activities to change the old behaviors such as stop wasting the energy, and reduction of the use of natural resources in the wrong way.

Project or conservation activities in water use.

             Kasetsart University has appointed of the Board of Directors for Energy Management, to deciding the Policy Formulation, Implementation Plan and the University’s energy conservation guidelines

               Kasetsart University has the policy to organize activities or projects to conserve energy, water using in the workplace, public relations within department and through the website)

Public relations through the website of Kamphaeng Saen Campus

Energy-saving campaign / Sports Personnel Program for health

Water-saving campaign and toilet paper reduction program

 

              To reduce using water in toilet by filling water in 2 bottles water, placing the water bottles in the water tank at the back of the toilet. This method is not to obstruct the entrance of the water. Then close the rear tank lid. Try Pressing the toilet flush as usual. The water can be saved about 3 litres per each.

              Water Management Project by controlling weed around the surrounding areas which helps tobalance the water conservation and doesn’t cause sewage in the canal and wastewater treatment.

            Water Management Project can solve drainage clogs, clean up pipes / canals, and improve a drainage system for flood management

           To check the 150-horsepower pump system for life long service and to prevent repairiug frequently. All pumps should have the records of the maintenance in using and timetables for a punctual monitoring and maintenance.

Underground water storage tanks

              Ngamwongwan parking lot 2 is equipped with underground water storage tanks in order to prevent potential land subsidence with the space saving and stable water temperature.

Building ponds / lakes for keeping water

           Kasetsart University Kamphaengsaen Campus builds the 7 wells of ponds and lakes for keeping water to use. Wells in the area are approximately 416 rai. One well in 130 rai can produce for tap water of 48,000 cubic meters / year.

Well No. 1 in 150 rai can produce tap water of 48,000 cubic meters / year.

              Kasetsart University Chalermphrakiat Sakon Nakhon Province Campus has 7 water reservoirs including Kalasin Reservoir, Nakhon Phanom Reservoir, Mukdahan Reservoir, Sakon Nakhon Reservoir, Nong Khai Reservoir and Udon Thani Reservoir. Total 1,400,000 cubic meters of water are collected from each reservoir for using in agricultural research areas .

  

Implementation of Water Recycling Program

      Recycling Waste Water from ponds, natural ponds for lawns and trees.

— To install water pumps by using sprinklers within the wastewater treatment ponds for watering the lawn.

— To use water from natural ponds, for watering trees to replace tap water

using of treated water in flushing toilets

— To recycle Water of KU Dairy Center using for cleaning floors and flushing toilets.

Water Recycling System in Tilapia Hatchery

              Water Recycling System in Tilapia Hatchery. The water is used to hatch the fish that is supplied with flowing water all the time. The water from the hatching tubes will flow into the support tray before flowing into the PVC pipe and circulating through the hose to return to the top of the hatching tubes. With this system of rotation can reduce the amount of water needed each day. The amount of water need to be added each day is about 2% of the total system water is about 20 liters.

Power efficiency devices

             Kasetsart University uses electrical equipment efficiently, can reduce water consumption more than 75%.Kasetsart University has been using the electrical equipment efficiently which can reduce water consumption more than 75 percentIntroduction of sanitary wares can save a lot of water based on the principle of using water instead of old water to purify. This way use less water and wash quickly. The push button is located on the top of the water tank with two buttons, which can save up to 3 liters of water

               Introduction of automatic stop system for wash basins and toilet stalls for men by pressing the button when it is used. The water flow will stop automatically

The sensor system can detect the on / off motion of the lights and the fans automatically

Sink sensor system, water will flow and stop automatically as soon as when the hands pull in/cut.

             The sensor system of the men’s sanitary ware will run the water when standing, if the user leaves stands, the water will stop flowing immediately.
