1. NCUE has established smart campuses that operate on a sustainable living platform and has implemented various strategic measures in accordance with the United Nations’ sustainable development indicators. Regarding water resources, conductivity and pH values are monitored at the three wells on campus. Real-time data are obtained through water quality detection sensors, and the detected data are then transmitted to the water resources monitoring system in real time on the Internet. These facilitate the effective management of the wells’ water quality and the optimal distribution and utilization of the water resources. The sustainable living platform allows staff and students to grasp real-time water monitoring data, understand the importance of water resources management, and learn to value water resources.

2. We promote an awareness of water conservation regularly through public announcements (Figure 1) and requests that all staff and students assist by reporting water leakages of any equipment inside the buildings via the internal maintenance system. This leads to the timely and effective elimination of faulty and leakage issues. In addition, campus electricians conduct daily readings of the main water meters. Upon detecting any abnormal readings, they will initiate a campus-wide inspection to determine if there are any leaks. If a leak is found, immediate action is taken to address the issue (Figure 2).

Figure 2: The above picture is the location of NCUE’s electricians who record the degree of water meter every day.

3. For facilities with higher levels of water consumption, water utilization measures are adjusted according to demand. For example, the sprinkler irrigation system will not activate when it detects rain, and the lease contract of the campus swimming pool requires the tenant to cooperate with the government’s water conservation measures. These measures ensure the rational utilization of water (Figure 3).

Figure 3: The above picture shows that NCUE uses rain sensors to control the sprinkler irrigation system to achieve the benefits of effective use of water resources.
