UOWA operates sustainable sewage treatment, recycling wastewater for irrigation and landscaping.
Current Practices:
• 70% of campus sewage treated on-site
• Treated water reused for green spaces, supporting soil fertility and reducing chemical fertilisers
• Eco-conscious landscaping with drought-resistant plants
Future Plans:
• Expand STP capacity by 2026 (+20% treatment)
• Real-time water quality monitoring (pH, BOD, turbidity)
• Awareness campaigns for students and staff
Impact:
• Supports SDG 6 (Clean Water & Sanitation) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities & Communities)
• Reduces environmental footprint and promotes circular water use
