Water conservation program and implementation
Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon (RMUTP) has implemented a comprehensive policy aimed at enhancing water conservation across its campuses. This policy mandates that all newly constructed or renovated buildings integrate systems for rainwater harvesting and include backup water storage tanks. These measures are designed to ensure efficient water management and reduce reliance on external water sources.
In addition to these provisions, the university has also adopted the practice of utilizing natural water sources, specifically drawing water from nearby rivers and canals. This water is primarily used for irrigation purposes, ensuring the sustainability of green spaces at the university’s North Bangkok and Chom Thong campuses.
This initiative not only demonstrates RMUTP’s commitment to environmental sustainability but also aligns with national and global efforts to promote responsible water usage. By employing such methods, the university is taking proactive steps to mitigate the effects of water shortages, reduce the environmental footprint, and contribute to the conservation of vital natural resources.
The policy reflects RMUTP’s forward-thinking approach to campus development, where sustainability and resource management are integral to the university’s operational strategies. Future expansions and renovations across all campuses will continue to adhere to these guidelines, setting a model for other institutions in Thailand to follow.
Water Recycling Program Implementation
Based on our location, Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon does not focus on water recycling.
Water Efficient Appliances Usage (e.g. hand washing taps, toilet flush, etc.)
Water efficient appliances include automatic on/off and auto-stop pushing flushers and taps.
| Appliance | Total Number | Total number water Efficient appliances | Percentage |
| Toilet flushers | 554 | 474 | 86% |
| Urinal flushers | 617 | 480 | 78% |
| Washbasin taps | 938 | 780 | 83% |
| Average Percentage | 82% |
Consumption of treated water
Description:
Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon does not implement any water treatment system.
Water pollution control in campus area
Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon has taken significant steps to manage and control water pollution within its campuses, ensuring that contaminated water does not enter the university’s water system or surrounding environments. This initiative is particularly focused on preventing hazardous waste from laboratory facilities and pollutants, such as oils and grease from clogging the drainage systems. These substances have the potential to severely degrade water quality if not properly managed.
Recognizing the importance of sustainable water management, the university has incorporated water pollution control protocols into its broader environmental policies. As part of this effort, RMUTP has mandated that all newly constructed and renovated buildings must integrate comprehensive water pollution mitigation strategies. These strategies are implemented during the design and construction phases to address potential contamination risks from various facilities and activities across the university.
Although RMUTP is still in the early stages of fully implementing these water pollution control measures, the current policies reflect a proactive approach to minimizing the environmental impact of campus operations. The university has initiated several programs aimed at managing water pollution more effectively, ensuring that future developments meet stringent environmental standards.
Planning, implementation, monitoring and/or evaluation of all programs related to Water Management through the utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
Despite these ongoing efforts, RMUTP has not yet implemented advanced Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems to manage water consumption and recycling. The absence of these technologies means that water usage is still monitored and controlled through conventional methods. The university acknowledges that incorporating ICT solutions would provide more efficient water management, real-time monitoring, and optimized water recycling processes, thus enhancing sustainability practices. However, the development and integration of such systems are still in the preliminary stages.
As RMUTP continues to expand its environmental sustainability programs, the institution recognizes the need to invest in digital technologies that will support more effective water management and pollution control. The adoption of ICT systems for this purpose remains a key goal for the future, aligning with global trends in smart and sustainable campus management.
