Baseline
- Water consumption from the water authority was 29419 m3 for the base year.
- Water consumption from other sources was not measured for the base year due to lack of metering.
- Water use for irrigation was not measured for the base year due to lack of metering.
- Treated wastewater use for irrigation was not measured in the base year due to lack of metering.
- Water harvesting/ building.
Target
- Install metering and sub metering equipment to measure all water consumption.
- To reduce water consumption by 10 % against baseline.
- To reduce water, use for irrigation by 10 % against baseline.
- To increase treated wastewater, use for irrigation by 10 % against baseline.
- To increase harvesting water by 10 % against baseline.
Policy Statement
To conserve water through efficient use and management.
Implementation Mechanisms
- Monitor water consumption data to assist in identifying areas of potential savings.
- Install water saving devices for taps (replacing of renovating fittings). Buildings under construction or undergoing major renovation should have the most efficient Water Efficiency Labeling and Standards.
- Implement water efficiency awareness programs to encourage students and staff to save water.
- Use best practices for efficient irrigation.
- Buildings under construction should all have rainwater tanks installed to capture roof water, which will be used for toilet flushing and irrigation.
- Increase on-site stormwater collection hardware used for irrigation.
- Install sub meters where appropriate.
Key Performance Indicators
- Total water consumption (m3 per capita).
- Percentage of water saving devices installed in buildings (%).
- Percentage water harvesting (%).
- Amount of wastewater used for irrigation (m3 per dunum).
- Percentage of treated wastewater (%).
Challenges
- Financial resources.
- Submetering.
