| Water Conservation Program (Siam University, Thailand) |
Description:
Since 2018, Siam University has announced policies and supported activities such as installing water efficient appliances, and water saving campaign. We have an underground concrete pond used for collecting treated water in the campus, and we have also prepared our land, consisting of small ponds for a smart farming and gardening in the campus. Fortunately, small ponds make it feasible to do water conservation program for rain water storage and usage. A current stage of the water conservation program (i.e., rain harvesting systems) can store high amount of natural water for supplying and using in our university more than 50% of water conserved. The conserved water is technically treated and used for various purposes such as floor washing and watering plants in the campus. The conserved water is treated by the use of effective microorganisms (EM) solution for increasing oxygen and pH adjustment of the canal, which was checked regularly. Recently, the University held dredging program for canals around our campus and put fountain to circulate oxygen for water treatment and conservation.
